Tilly

I turn the stove on when the morning breaks

And think about the memories it wakes

I crack the shells and put 'em in the pan

But I don't hear you crying where I stand

You used to bark and beg right at my feet

Waiting for those morning eggs to eat

Oh, Tilly, you were soft and chubby, lovable and true

Our fluffy little soul dog, there was no one quite like you

Me, my wife, and my mom, we miss you every day

We loved you beyond measure, more than words can say

We'd give anything to hold you close and near

Oh, Tilly, how we wish that you were here

I grab my keys and head out to the drive

That's when you always seemed the most alive

Riding to the store or to the restaurant

Being by our side was all you'd ever want

A sweet copilot taking in the breeze

You always put our restless minds at ease

Oh, Tilly, you were soft and chubby, lovable and true

Our fluffy little soul dog, there was no one quite like you

Me, my wife, and my mom, we miss you every day

We loved you beyond measure, more than words can say

We'd give anything to hold you close and near

Oh, Tilly, how we wish that you were here

Out on the three-season porch, we'd let the hours pass

Watching the evening shadows stretch across the grass

Doing absolutely nothing, just sitting side by side

With your heavy little head resting, full of love and pride

The house is quiet now, the floors are bare

I keep looking for your chubby shadow there

But I hold onto the love you left behind

The sweetest little friend I'll ever find

You gave us everything you had to give

And in our hearts is where you'll always live

Oh, Tilly, you were soft and chubby, lovable and true

Our fluffy little soul dog, there was no one quite like you

Me, my wife, and my mom, we miss you every day

We loved you beyond measure, more than words can say

We'd give anything to hold you close and near

Oh, Tilly, how we wish that you were here
