Ricochet

Intro - acoustic guitar, harmonica

Verse 1

From the Shenandoah hills, a spirit bright you came,

An Aussie heart, a loyal, playful flame.

My fishing buddy, always by my side,

A true velcro dog, nowhere to hide.

The finest friend the Valley ever knew,

In every adventure, my heart was with you.

Those early days, a joyful, vivid scene,

The best dog ever, what a beautiful dream.

Chorus

Oh, Ricochet, thirteen years flew by,

Beneath the vast and open sky.

Your memory shines, a steady, guiding star,

No matter how far away you are.

Verse 2

Each evening came, a ritual so sweet,

You'd snuggle close, from head down to your feet.

Then with a sigh, you'd find your own warm space,

A peaceful habit, filled with gentle grace.

Your happy grin, a wagging, joyful tail,

A love that even time cannot derail.

You taught me lessons, patient, kind, and true,

In every moment, I cherished you.

Chorus

Oh, Ricochet, thirteen years flew by,

Beneath the vast and open sky.

Your memory shines, a steady, guiding star,

No matter how far away you are.

Bridge

We miss you and love you, so much it hurts inside,

Your daddy has your blanket, where your warmth still likes to hide.

He wraps it close around him, holding memories so dear,

See you in heaven one day, buddy, banishing all fear.

Instrumental - harmonica, acoustic guitar

Final Chorus

Oh, Ricochet, thirteen years flew by,

Beneath the vast and open sky.

Your memory shines, a steady, guiding star,

No matter how far away you are.

Outro

Now running free with Laurie, Mavy, and Harley, bright and bold,

A new adventure, a story to unfold.

Always watching for his people, from a place beyond compare,

Ricochet's spirit, floating on the air.

Outro - guitar fade
