My eyes grow dim, my legs are weak, just one more day I know you seek. But we both know it cannot be, for I must leave, it's my time you see.

I watch the tears roll down your cheeks, and feel the love you have for me. I take this love so warm and good, for it will sustain me far up above.

We have to part, you know it's right, gone from here and out of sight. But in your heart I know I'll be, so I have a safe place for eternity. The years will pass, and I will wait, your patient friend outside Heaven's Gate.

The day will come, you know it must when God covers you with golden dust. And on that day so alert I'll be, as I'll know that you are coming to be with me. My legs are strong, my eyes are bright, my tail wags for you with sheer delight.

I'll run and jump and bounce and bark, with all the love that's in my heart. I'll see you smile, I've missed that look, and with your gentle touch, my ears you'll rub.

We'll walk through meadows green and wide, and there I'll be, forever by your side
