lyrics
You knew me as a babe
lying helpless on the floor,
you brought your toys to show me
not knowing what I cried for,
and I poked your eyes and pulled your ears
but you always understood
at the time I knew no better,
but eventually I would.
A toast to all the dogs
to the good ones come and gone,
how hard it is to watch them
growing old and moving on.
Although there is another
just as good to come along,
let the sadness fade to fondness
as we say goodbye in song.
Sooner than I’d hoped
I saw your beard had gone to grey,
you always met me at the door
though you'd nap most of the day.
There was no doubt you still knew me
as your eyes and ears grew dim,
now I bring toys to you this time -
we end like we begin.
A toast to all the dogs
to the good ones come and gone,
how hard it is to watch them
growing old and moving on.
Although there is another
just as good to come along,
let the sadness fade to fondness
as we say goodbye in song.
Well, the reason that I love dogs
is I see myself in them,
and one day I aspire
to be half so genuine.
They have no idea how tragic,
yet profound is their lesson,
that nothing is more precious
than the loyalty of friends.
A toast to all the dogs
to the good ones come and gone,
how hard it is to watch them
growing old and moving on.
Although there is another
just as good to come along,
let the sadness fade to fondness
as we say goodbye in song.
