If you can hear me, hear me when I say....
I would have given anything to have brought you back that day.
Forever imprinted in my mind...That day, that hour, that minute you were last mine.
That moment, a nightmare, the second it took place...
When heaven's doors opened wide to greet a new puppy face.
The sting, the burn, the pain that hit...Too unbearable to ever forget.

If you can see me, see me on those days, when everything was no stress and all play.
Look back at me angel & picture me now...Tucking you in right under that towel.
Can you see me sweet Nica, Look closer, another look...
It's you begging silly girl as Jon & I cooked.
Jumping & playing as boxers always do, all 80 pounds sitting in my lap...That could only be you!

If you can feel me, feel my heart...
For when yours stopped working, it ripped mine apart.
It's empty & hardened & rightfully so...
For you my little doggie were the one who made it glow.

Through the years, through the friends, through the ups & the downs...
You of all relationships, showed me a love world renowned
So unconditional was the love that you gave,
That my plan is to treasure it until my last day!
