From the recording Tails, Tugs, & Teardrops (The Full Pawprint)
A pup’s perspective on love beyond language--a bond built through heartbeats.
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I sit and watch you read your pages
You hum and talk and dance and sing
I try to copy all your phrases
But all I’ve got’s this bark I bring
I see the world the way you show it
The coffee cups, the morning light
I wish I had the words to know it
To tell you what I feel inside
[Verse 2]
You laugh at all my silly gestures
You guess my thoughts with just one glance
You always know my moods and textures
As if we’ve shared a secret dance
Sometimes I try to say “I love you”
But all that comes is just a sound
Still somehow, you know what I meant to
Your heart hears things that don’t need mouths
[Chorus]
Even though I never spoke
You always knew just what I meant
In every wag, in every poke
You heard my heart in every scent
I don’t need to talk like you
To say the things I’m dreaming of
’Cause every moment next to you
Is more than words--it’s simply love
[Bridge]
I once believed that I was missing
A voice, a phrase, a lullaby
But then you held me close and listened
And showed me love can never lie
[Chorus]
Even though I never spoke
You always knew just what I meant
Through every tail wag, every stroke
You read my soul without intent
And now I know I always could
Be everything you’re dreaming of
You never needed me to speak--
You always knew… it all was love
