From the recording Pet Loss & Love That Remains
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Every morning felt like sunshine
Even when the sky was gray
You’d bring laughter to the silence
You just loved the world that way
You’d greet strangers like old stories
Find the joy in something small
And every time I started falling
You’d be there to catch it all
[Pre-Chorus]
You didn’t need a reason why
You just gave love like breathing
[Chorus]
You had a heart of gold
A soul that never dimmed or folded
Every hug was home
Every look said I was chosen
You taught me how to love this open
And to keep that light to hold
You had a heart of gold
[Verse 2]
You turned puddles into oceans
And the park into a dream
Every day was just devotion
Every tail wag was belief
You reminded me of kindness
That the simple things can heal
You were fur and warmth and wonder
You were realer than the real
[Pre-Chorus]
You never asked for anything
You just stayed pure and golden
[Chorus]
You had a heart of gold
A soul that never dimmed or folded
Every hug was home
Every look said I was chosen
You taught me how to love this open
And to keep that light to hold
You had a heart of gold
[Bridge]
And if heaven has a field somewhere
I know you’re running free out there
Still chasing sun, still finding peace
Still shining back at me
[Chorus]
You had a heart of gold
And you left it here inside me
Every smile you showed
Still reminds me how to be
You taught me how to love this open
And to keep that warmth to hold
You had a heart of gold
Always golden
Always home
