Memoris
They say that memories are golden
- well maybe that is true
I never wanted memories,
- I only wanted you
A million times I needen you
- a millin times a cried
If love only could have saved you
- you never would have died
In life I loved you dearly
- in death I love you still
In my heart you hold a place
- no one could ever fill
If tears could build a stairway
- and heartache make a lane
I'd walk the path to heaven
- and bring you back home again
Our family chain is broken
- and nothing seems the same
But as God calls us one by one,
- the chain will link again
When Tomorrow Starts Without Me
When tomorrow starts without me,
And I'm not there to see;
The sun will rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me.
I which so much you wouldn't cry
They way you did today,
I know how much you loved me,
As much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me
I know you'll miss me too
But when tomorrow starts without me
please try to understand
That an angel came and called my name
And petted me with her hand
She said my place was ready,
In heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind
All those I dearly love
But, as I turned to heel away,
A tear fell from my eye,
For all my life I never thought
That I would have to die.
I had so much to live for,
So many sits and downs to do,
It seemed almost impossible
That I was leaving you
I thought about our lives together,
I know you must be sad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
And all the fun we had
Remember when I'd nudge your hand,
And poke you with my nose
The frisbee I would gladly chase,
The bad guy, I'd "bark and hold"
If I could relive yesterday,
Just even for awhile,
I wag my tail and kiss you,
Just so I could see you smile.
But when I fully realized,
That this could never be
For emptiness and memories
Will take the place of me
And when I thought of treats and toys
I might miss come tomorrow
I thought of you and when I did
My dog-heart filled with sorrow
But when I walked through Heaven's gate;
And felt som much at home;
As God Looked down and smiled at me,
From his beautiful throne
He said, "This is eternity",
And now we welcome you,
Today your life on earth is past,
But here it starts a new
I promise no tomorrow
But today will always last;
For you see each days' the same
There's no longing for the past.
Now you have been so faithful
So trusting, loyal and true;
Though there were times you did things
You knew you shouldn't do
But good dogs are forgiven,
And now at last you're free;
So won't you sit here by my side,
And wait right here with me?
So when tomorrow starts without me,
don't think we're far apart
For every time you think of me,
I'm right there in your heart.

I Loved You Best
So this is were we part My Friend,
and You'll run on, around the bend,
gone from sight, but not from mind
new pleasures ther you'll surely find.
I will gon on, I'll find the strength,
life measures quality, nots it's lenght
One long embrace before you leave
share one last look befor I grive
There are others, that much is true,
but they are they, they aren't you.
And I, fair, impartial, or so I thought
will remember well all you've taught
You place I'll hold, you will be missed,
the fur a stroked, the nose I kissed.
And as you journey to you final rest,
take with you this.... I loved you best.
