With heavy hearts and a tear in our eyes

after all these years we must say goodbye

Please understand we've done all we could

if there was anything we could do, you know we would.

I'm sitting right here gently rubbing your ears

while I talk to you softly trying to hold back the tears

The memories you gave us, we'll never forget

especially the ones of the day we all met

One last hug and one last kiss

you have no idea how much you'll be missed

To look into your eyes one last time

you tell me it's ok, you know it's your time.

Close your eyes now and go to sleep

we'll pray to the Lord your soul He'll keep

Go in peace now our good friend

we'll stay right here with you until the end.

Dream of that special day and time

when we'll meet at the Bridge and all will be fine

We'll run and play side by side

with a soft warm feeling deep down inside

Your memory will live on in each one of us

you'll always be number 1 to all of us.

Have a safe journey and God's speed

you're on your way now, you've completed your deed.

So with heavy hearts and tears in our eyes

just for now, we say Goodbye.
