Lyrics
[Verse 1 - Young Pup]
I was small, I could run all day,
Chasing every leaf that got away.
With my squeaky burger in your hand,
I was the happiest pup in the land.
[Chorus - Young]
Throw it again, I’ll chase it fast,
Every moment feels like it will last.
The world is bright, it’s all brand new,
And every step I run to you.
[Verse 2 - Middle-aged Pup]
Now my legs, they don’t fly so high,
But I’ll fetch that burger, just give it a try.
The squeak still sings, though the sound’s worn thin,
Every game we played still lives within.
[Chorus - Middle Age]
Don’t throw too far, I’ll take my time,
Each step I walk, your hand in mine.
The years have passed, but still I see,
I’m always your pup, you’re home to me.
[Bridge - Aging Pup]
I hear your tears when I stumble or fall,
But I don’t mind, I still hear your call.
Though my eyes grow dim, I don’t lose my way,
By the scent of your love, I’ll always stay.
[Chorus - Aging]
Don’t throw too far, I’ll do my best,
Each gentle breath is a moment of rest.
I’m still your pup, until the end,
Forever your shadow, forever your friend.
[Outro]
Though I can’t see, I still know you’re near…
I’m still your puppy, year after year.
