lady

ah, there is such beauty in lady's soft sweet eyes

i swear God take me if it isn't so

i see in them a bit of heaven

a fleeting glimpse of you



but God if there's no heaven

(although i doubt that this could be)

then let me go where lady goes

when her days on earth are through



it's true i've loved her more than most

of the people i have known

but she's been more true than

my truest friend and

a comfort through the years



i never dreamed a dog could be

all that she's meant to me

so, i pray dear God

take everything from me

but leave me my sweet lady



her fur is still so soft to the touch

though she's getting on in years

she's aged so well no one can tell

she's lived a dozen years



ah, lady's given me such pleasure

i can't imagine us apart

so dear Lord the day that

you must take her will be the day

that my heart breaks
