From the recording Tails, Tugs, & Teardrops (The Full Pawprint)
Behind every bark and tail wag is a heart doing its best to say, "I love you."
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I know I make a mess sometimes,
Tearin’ up the quiet, chasing sounds outside.
But I only wanted your eyes on me,
To feel like your world, unconditionally.
[Verse 2]
I wait by the door when you leave too soon,
Dream of your steps in the afternoon.
I wag like nothin’s wrong,
But I’ve been holding on so long…
[Pre-Chorus]
There’s so much I can’t say--
No words, just eyes that pray.
I wish you could hear the truth in my sighs…
[Chorus]
If you only knew how much I tried,
To be your joy, your calm, your quiet pride.
I’d give my all in every bark and stare,
To show you just how deep I care.
[Bridge]
All I ask is for your time…
A minute, a smile, a touch so kind.
You don’t have to speak my name,
I know love--it feels the same.
[Chorus]
If you only knew the way I feel,
How your presence is my every meal.
You may not see the love I hide…
But I’m yours--for all my life.
