I walked into that shelter, just looking for a friend
Didn't know my broken spirit was about to start to mend
You were silly, you were sweet, such a beautiful soul
You took this empty heart of mine and made it completely whole
Oh, Noodle, since the minute we drove away
You've owned my heart in every single way
ChorusI love you with all my heart, my loyal best friend
This unconditional love is never gonna end
Even when the world fades, we'll always be together
Nothing can separate us, not now, not ever
You're the shadow at my feet, the comfort I find
Sometimes I swear you can read my mind
Verse 2I've been sick for a while now, having heavy, hard days
But you never leave my side, you're the sun through the haze
You follow me all through the house, pacing on the floor
Just making sure I'm okay, peeking through the door
You know when I am hurting, you stay right by my bed
You offer me your support when there's nothing to be said
ChorusI love you with all my heart, my loyal best friend
This unconditional love is never gonna end
Even when the world fades, we'll always be together
Nothing can separate us, not now, not ever
You're the shadow at my feet, the comfort I find
Sometimes I swear you can read my mind
BridgeYou’ve been my gentle guardian, my comfort in the dark
Leaving your precious paw prints all over my heart
You're my little angel, but I know we're near the end
I think God is ready to have you home, my friend
Final ChorusBut I love you with all my heart, my loyal best friend
This unconditional love is never gonna end
Even when you have to go, we'll always be together
Nothing can separate us, not now, not ever
You're the shadow at my feet, the comfort I find
Oh, Noodle, you'll always be right here in my mind
