Simba

Intro - piano, strings

Verse 1

From the moment that we met, a bright and happy start,

A loyal German Shepherd, you stole my loving heart.

A rubber ball was life, your greatest, joyful quest,

You'd bring it back each time, then put it to the test.

After every meal, a funny noise you'd make,

Rubbing head and body, for goodness gracious sake.

Against the couch or your bed, a happy little game,

A special silly ritual, always just the same.

Chorus

Oh, Simba, my dear Simba, ten sweet years we knew,

My loyal, loving girl, forever I miss you.

Your spirit shines so bright, a light I still can see,

You'll always be my best friend, waiting there for me.

Verse 2

Each morning when I woke, a moment pure and true,

Your head beside my bed, for kisses just for you.

Good morning sweet affection, a gentle, loving start,

A bond no time can break, etched deeply in my heart.

At doggie day camp drop-off, a bittersweet goodbye,

But at pickup, such excitement, reaching for the sky.

With hugs and happy kisses, your biggest, joyful smile,

You made every single day, completely worthwhile.

Chorus

Oh, Simba, my dear Simba, ten sweet years we knew,

My loyal, loving girl, forever I miss you.

Your spirit shines so bright, a light I still can see,

You'll always be my best friend, waiting there for me.

Bridge

I whispered "I love you so much, Simba, you're amazing and the best,"

A promise in my heart, put gently to the test.

"I will see you again, my fur baby," I truly believe it's true,

My love for you will linger, in everything I do.

Instrumental - strings, french horn

Final Chorus

Oh, Simba, my dear Simba, ten sweet years we knew,

My loyal, loving girl, forever I miss you.

Your spirit shines so bright, a light I still can see,

You'll always be my best friend, waiting there for me.

Outro - piano fade

Now you're playing ball and running, free upon the breeze,

Across the sunlit fields, beneath the ancient trees.

I know you're waiting patiently, beyond the veil so thin,

My sweet, beloved Simba, until we meet again.
