by Desmond & Molly Jones
nails clicking on the floor
softly barking at the door
tags a jingling through the air
warm affection everywhere
sloppy kisses on my face
tail wagging you gave chase
stolen dishtowel in your bed
turning frowns to cheer instead
always resting by my side
out for walks you danced with pride
trust and love with us was true
and now they tell me we are through
but they are wrong my heart does say
for you and I will always stay
in touch forever in my heart
a love like ours they'll never part
