Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Sixteen years, you were part of my world A tiny little toy poodle, my sweet girl Pearl From the first time I held you, I knew it was true There'd never be another soul who loved like you You’d sit by my side when the world felt cold Every tear, every moment, you’d quietly hold No words, just your eyes sayin’ “I’m here for you” You were more than a pet, you were my heart too [Chorus] Now the house feels too quiet, the blankets still warm Your hoodie hangs by the door where you used to curl I keep looking for you in the chipmunk trail Or Dudley chasing shadows, wagging his tail But you're not there… and it cuts me deep inside 'Cause it feels like a part of me just died Oh Pearl… you’ll always be by my side [Verse 2] You had so much joy, so much love to give You’d greet every stranger like they were kin You played like the wind, couldn't keep you still Till we brought Dudley home to help you chill You’d chase him 'round the yard till the stars came out You were queen of the blankets — there was never a doubt Heated, fuzzy, custom-made with your name We spoiled you 'cause love don’t play a fair game [Chorus] Now the house feels too quiet, the blankets still warm Your hoodie hangs by the door where you used to curl I keep looking for you in the chipmunk trail Or Dudley chasing shadows, wagging his tail But you're not there… and it cuts me deep inside 'Cause it feels like a part of me just died Oh Pearl… you’ll always be by my side [Bridge] You taught me how to love, how to be still How the smallest things make the biggest feel And though I held you tight in that final goodbye It’s your love that still holds me when I cry [Final Chorus] Now the stars shine a little more tonight I swear I feel you when the breeze is light I still see your pawprints on my soul's floor And I’ll carry your love forevermore You're not gone, just waitin’ on the other side Until then… Pearl, stay by my side
