Lyrics
[Verse 1] Oh, dog hair’s still floating in the morning light, Like tiny ghosts of all our belly rub nights... Your leash still hangs by the old front door, But I don’t need a leash to love you more. [Pre-Chorus] And if death is just a nap in the sun, Then why should I cry? You’re chasing clouds, While I chase the why... [Chorus] Blessed be the dogs! They teach us how to live and die with open paws. They don’t ask why, They just say hi, And then one day, T hey wave goodbye... [Verse 2] Oh, I’ve seen old parrots live eighty long years, While the best boys barely get fourteen… (unfair!) But a BFF tells the truth, oh, clear and bright, That love’s not in time, It’s in the light. [Bridge] Think about it: Why do dogs only get one good spin around the sun? Maybe because they already get it, How to love, how to live, how to run? How to wag their tails at the morning dew, And never ask: "Hey, what’s the meaning of you?" [Chorus] Blessed be the dogs! They teach us how to live and die with open paws. They don’t ask why, They just say hi, And then one day, They wave goodbye... [Outro] "But not really… they’re just ‘round the corner… still begging for snacks…"
