Another year has come and gone

But it feels like I have never left this home

Memories of when you came into my life are so strong

When you put your paws around me

And when you look into my eyes

I know if only you could speak you’d ask me to stay

People say “it’s just a dog” but to me you are so much more

The sweetest thing that came into my life, my best friend

You paint my heart with light and joy, there’s nothing I would change

Your presence is more than words could say

So playful you would come to me

Making my day better than I could think

And walk by my side no matter how tired you feel

I could not thank you enough for making my life so special

And still you wouldn’t know how precious you are

People say “it’s just a dog” but to me you’re so much more

The sweetest thing that came into my life, my best friend

You paint my heart with light and joy, there’s nothing I would change

Your presence is more than words could say

I am sorry that I left to chase my dreams

Believe me I love you more than anything

I know I can’t be the one who gives you what you need everyday

But I will travel miles for you to be in my embrace

People say “it’s just a dog” but to me you’re so much more

The sweetest thing that came into my life, my best friend

You paint my heart with light and joy, there’s nothing I would change

Your presence is more than words could say
