From the recording Christmas Found Me
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Paper snow, a ribbon red
Under the tree, a squeak instead
I bite once light, the sound comes through
It sounds like you. It sounds like you
[Pre-Chorus]
I look to the door, wait for two
Only my tag rings the room
[Chorus]
A different squeak this Christmas night
One voice missing from the light
I hold this toy and think of you
Somehow the quiet feels like true
[Verse 2]
Empty bowl, your blanket folded
I’m still slow and getting older
House is big with just one bell
I carry the squeak to where you slept well
[Pre-Chorus]
Set it down on your old bed
Lay my head where you laid your head
[Bridge]
I hear our paws in drifting snow
See your grin in ember glow
If love can stay when bodies go
Then play with me, soft and low
[Chorus]
A different squeak this Christmas night
But in this hush you’re warm and bright
I share this toy like we would do
You’re here with me. I’m here with you
