Zoey - My Beloved Companion Of Many Years

I know I said to let me know

When it was time for you to go

I’m just not ready, can’t you see?

I need you here right beside me

I know it’s hard for you to walk

I watched you trip, we’ve had that talk

You look at me with pleading eyes

I’ve looked right back so full of lies

I try to tell you you’re all right

Each time I hold you through the night

But you are weak, you’re falling more

I saw your pain down on that floor

I ask you wait just three more days

I need you in so many ways

I want to say good-bye to you

And all your favorite things we’ll do

We’ll take a ride, get an ice cream cone

Go to the store and buy a bone

I’ll carry you if it need be,

I can’t believe you’re leaving me

I love you so with all my heart

You know I did right from the start

You saved my life, you’re inside me

No greater dog there’ll ever be

So please do help me through your death

As I hold you during your last breath

I pray that God will help us through

The release of pain I give to you

I promised you would never feel

Pain at the end, it was a deal

So I will hold you close and pray

For comfort on our one last day

In my heart you’ll always stay

A smile for you I’ll give each day

I’ll remember how you taught me love

Until the day you went Above

You’ll always be that special one

I think of ‘til my days are done

There’ll never be one to replace you

I know that I won’t even try to
