Beauty

You were my anchor when life got too deep

The emotional support that I wanted to keep

I can still see you out there in the grass

Chasing the other dog, running so fast

You'd give it your all just to stay in the run

But it wouldn't take long till your racing was done

You'd get tired so quick and come hurrying back

Leaving the chase and the dusty old track

You’d jump in my arms, looking up at my face

Like, "I need some water, I'm done with the race"

Oh, Beauty, I miss how you’d lean on my chest

Safe in my arms while you gathered your rest

You always knew how to bring out my smile

Making the heavy days feel worthwhile

Whenever my spirit was starting to bend

I knew I could count on my beautiful friend

You gave me a comfort that I couldn't buy

Just by the loving look there in your eye

You'd get tired so quick and come hurrying back

Leaving the chase and the dusty old track

You’d jump in my arms, looking up at my face

Like, "I need some water, I'm done with the race"

Oh, Beauty, I miss how you’d lean on my chest

Safe in my arms while you gathered your rest

I wish I had been on top of it all

I'd give anything just to answer the call

I didn't see you get out of the gate

And it breaks me to know that I noticed too late

I'm so sorry, Beauty, I wasn't right there

When the truck hit you, boy, it just isn't fair

Now you're resting in peace, you don't have to run back

But I'd give anything for our dusty old track

When you'd jump in my arms, looking up at my face

Like, "I need some water, I'm done with the race"

Oh, Beauty, I miss you, it's breaking my heart

I'll hold you forever, though we are apart
