Lyrics
A Dog’s Love
Verse 1
From the day you brought them home
With those trusting eyes so wide,
A wagging tail and a hopeful heart
Walking right there by your side.
Through every road and every mile
No matter where you roam,
They make the smallest house feel warm
And any place a home.
Pre-Chorus
Through the laughter and the lonely nights,
They never walk away…
Chorus
A dog’s love stays through thick and thin,
Through every loss and every win.
No matter if they're big or small,
They give you everything they’ve got.
Their hearts are always bigger
Than their size could ever show,
And when you need a heart to lean on
Somehow they always know.
Verse 2
They sit beside you when you're quiet,
Lay their head upon your knee,
Like they understand the words
You never say out loud to speak.
Through the good times and the hard ones
They never leave your side,
Just a faithful soul beside you
On this short and winding ride.
Pre-Chorus
And you wish somehow that time would slow
And let them stay always…
Chorus
A dog’s love stays through thick and thin,
Through every loss and every win.
No matter if they're big or small,
They give you everything they’ve got.
Their hearts are always bigger
Than their size could ever show,
And when you need a heart to lean on
Somehow they always know.
Bridge
But the hardest part of loving them
Is knowing they can’t stay,
They give you all their years of love
Then quietly slip away.
And when they go they leave a space
No one can replace,
A hole inside your heart and soul
That time cannot erase.
Final Chorus
A dog’s love stays through thick and thin,
Long after their time has been.
No matter if they're big or small,
They were the truest friend of all.
Their hearts were always bigger
Than their size could ever show,
And somewhere in the quiet now
You swear they still know.
