It’s time, my friend to say goodbye With a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes Please tell me Shadow, this is the right thing to do If it is, then why do I feel so blue I have you in my arms, your golden eyes open wide You turn to look up at me to say it’s OK I look deep into your eyes and know it’s true But I still ask myself, is it the right thing to do Just last night, you snuggled on my lap The sound of your purr made me feel good The feel of your little heart beating You were telling me it was almost time I rub your ears and touch your paw And remember all the love you gave us I wish I could have given you more You look at me and say thank you Shadow, you gave the greatest gift of all That very special feeling of love… The kind of unconditional love that’s so strong Goodbye my friend, and thank you
