[Verse 1]
I came to Canada,
for a better life
Snow on my boots,
hope in my eyes
Then I met a black girl,
and my heart stood still
One look from her,
and I knew it was real
We walked through years,
through rain and doubt
Now thirteen years,
and I still sing out
[Pre-Chorus]
She holds my hand,
I hold her close
Bono run around,
he already knows
He bring the joy,
he read the room
Tail going fast,
like a little drum boom
[Chorus]
Bono, Bono,
smartest dog I know (I know)
Bono, Bono,
he love us both so
A little more Merry,
he know her glow
Bono, Bono,
our good sweet soul
[Verse 2]
He watch the door,
he watch the bed
He hear one word,
then he tilt his head
If she feel low,
he stay by her knee
If I feel tired,
he come to me
Hands in the sink,
laugh in the hall
Thirteen years,
we built it all
No fancy dream,
just truth and grace
Me, her, and Bono,
same warm space
[Pre-Chorus]
She hum a tune,
he wag right there
He pick up love
out of the air
He lean to her,
then turn to me
That little dog,
he family
[Chorus]
Bono, Bono,
smartest dog I know (I know)
Bono, Bono,
he love us both so
A little more Merry,
he know her glow
Bono, Bono,
our good sweet soul
[Bridge]
From one cold start,
to a home we made
Thirteen long years,
and the fear all fade
If life get hard,
he make it light
Three hearts beating,
through the night
[Final Chorus]
Bono, Bono,
smartest dog I know (I know)
Bono, Bono,
he love us both so
A little more Merry,
he know her glow
Bono, Bono,
our good sweet soul
Bono, Bono,
stay close, stay close (stay close)
Bono, Bono,
we love him most
