For the Rest of Mine

You came runnin’ through the tall grass,

Little paws, heart beating fast.

Chewed my boots, left dirt on the floor,

But I wouldn’t trade a single one, not one more.

We grew up through rain and shine,

Every year you were mine.

I loved you all your life,

I’ll miss you for the rest of mine.

Every sunset, every quiet night,

Every trail we walked, every ride.

If love could’ve kept you here,

You’d still be runnin’ through the sky.

I loved you all your life,

I’ll miss you for the rest of mine.

Your muzzle’s gray, but your eyes still shine,

Every memory stays, frozen in time.

You’d sit by my boots at the break of day,

Chase my worries, take them away.

Now the yard is quiet, wind’s blowin’ cold,

But I still hear you bark through the pines, so bold.

I loved you all your life,

I’ll miss you for the rest of mine.

Every sunset, every quiet night,

Every trail we walked, every ride.

If love could’ve kept you here,

You’d still be runnin’ through the sky.

I loved you all your life,

I’ll miss you for the rest of mine.

No goodbye could ever be enough,

No sunset could paint you gone.

But every breeze, every country road,

Whispers your name along.

I loved you all your life,

I’ll miss you for the rest of mine.

You were my forever friend, my sign,

And when I cross that final line,

I’ll see you waitin’ there, just fine

The one I loved all my life,

I’ll miss you for the rest of mine.
