Waiting by the Door

(hummmmm) You were there

when the winter was cold

Kept me warm

when the stories were told

In the backyard under the old oak tree

You were always

waiting for me

Through the years

when my world fell apart

You could heal

every crack in my heart

With a tilt of your head and a quiet sigh

Now the hours

are passing us by

Rest your head now,

the long run is done

You were my shadow

under the sun

Good boy,

you carried me through

(ohhh) No friend will ever match you

Your muzzle is gray

and your steps are so slow

But you look up at me like you still know

That we walked a thousand long miles in the dark

Now you're leaving

behind your spark

Good boy, now sleep (hummmmm)
