For thirteen years, we danced and we played
Then one morning at three a.m.

I sat with you and held you till the end
Congestive heart failure, the vet said
I cried and I wailed, I couldn't pretend
You struggled and held on, you fought all the way
I screamed "Apollo Come Back"
But who was I to say
It was time for you to go
And we had no say
"The Day After" When morning came and you weren't there...
And night time came and you still weren't there...
Then for me there never was a day...

Loosing you hurts so much and the grief unbearable
But it's "The Dance" I'll always hold closest to my heart!!!
