You came to me with those bright, kind eyes
A wagging tail under open skies
You're just a dog, they like to say
But you've been by my side every day
You don't have words, you don't have a soul
But you fill the spaces, make me whole
In your silence, I hear so much
In your presence, I find a touch
They say you're just an animal, a passing friend
But your love, it feels like it'll never end
You don't ask for much, just a simple life
But your loss cuts deep, like a sharpened knife
If you could stay as long as me
Would we wander this world endlessly?
Through the years, through the storms and rain
I'd never have to feel this pain
You're more than just a fleeting spark
You light the corners of my heart
If only you could stay... as long as me
You don't have a voice, but you understand
You comfort me with a gentle hand
Through every tear, every smile, every day
You love me in your simple way
And when you're gone, they'll say it's time
But losing you feels like a crime
How can they say you're just a pet
When every step with you, I can't forget?
I know you're not human, not here forever
But this bond we share, no one can sever
You gave me all without a word
And losing you feels so absurd
If you could stay as long as me
Would we wander this world endlessly?
Through the years, through the storms and rain
I'd never have to feel this pain
You're more than just a fleeting spark
You light the corners of my heart
If only you could stay... as long as me
I wonder what it'd be like
If you had years like mine
Would we grow old together, friend?
With you by my side till the very end
But you're gone too soon, it breaks my heart
Why can't love like yours get a longer start?
If you could stay as long as me
Would we wander this world endlessly?
Through the years, through the storms and rain
I'd never have to feel this pain
You're more than just a fleeting spark
You light the corners of my heart
If only you could stay... as long as me
But now you're gone, and I feel the weight
Of loving you, and knowing it's too late...
If only you could stay, as long as me.
