Zeus

Intro - acoustic guitar, harmonica

Verse 1

The day you walked into my life, a loyal friend so true,

A German Shepherd, strong and bright, with eyes of deepest blue.

From that first moment, clear as day, a shadow at my heel,

You followed me in every way, a bond I'd come to feel.

Chorus

Oh, Zeus, my boy, through sun and rain,

Twelve beautiful years, erasing pain.

My constant friend, my heart's delight,

You filled my world with pure, pure light.

Verse 2

Through quiet walks and busy days, you stayed right by my side,

A silent comfort in so many ways, my confidence and guide.

A gentle nudge, a knowing gaze, you understood my soul,

In all of life's winding maze, you made my spirit whole.

Chorus

Oh, Zeus, my boy, through sun and rain,

Twelve beautiful years, erasing pain.

My constant friend, my heart's delight,

You filled my world with pure, pure light.

Verse 3

From car rides long to quiet strolls, you followed close behind,

Our family's heart, you made us whole, a treasure hard to find.

And when the world felt cold and grim, you’d lay your head right near,

A silent guardian, strong and trim, dispelling every fear.

Bridge

The quiet words I whispered low, as your last moments drew near,

"I love you and can’t wait to see you again," to quell my rising fear.

A promise made, a bond so deep, across the great divide,

My precious friend, my soul to keep, forever by my side.

Instrumental - banjo, acoustic guitar

Final Chorus

Oh, Zeus, my boy, through sun and rain,

Twelve beautiful years, erasing pain.

My constant friend, my heart's delight,

You filled my world with pure, pure light.

Outro

Now you're running free, no pain, beneath an endless sky,

Waiting there, to meet again, as countless moments fly.

My faithful Zeus, until that day, I'll hold you in my heart,

A peaceful dream, you're not far away, never truly apart.

Outro - guitar fade
