Lyric

A quiet morning touched with colder air

The same pale sunlight fills the room again

But yesterday your warmth was waiting there

Curled beside me like a gentle hymn

Your sleepy eyes would look at me so softly

As if you knew the weight inside my heart

You always led my restless soul to daylight

Turning ordinary mornings into art

You walked a little farther down the road

Then turned around to see if I was near

And when I smiled and whispered, “I’m okay”

You’d wag your tail and lose your little fears

[Chorus]

Now your leash still sways so quietly

Like it is searching for your gentle paws

I never thought a day would come without you

Never dreamed our time would pause

The empty room still holds your tender presence

Every memory glows so warm and true

I promised I would always keep you safe

But all along, the one protected… was me by you

We’d stop beside the old familiar bench

You looked so bored while sitting patiently

But when I brushed your soft and shining fur

Your happy eyes would sparkle up at me

Do you remember that small pet shop window?

I only meant to pass a moment there

But I stood frozen for almost two whole hours

Lost inside your tiny curious stare

The first night in our little room together

You looked around so innocent and small

I swore I’d spend forever keeping watch

Never letting any sadness reach you at all

Now your leash still sways so quietly

The silence echoes softly through the hall

Coming home was always full of laughter

You made my simple world feel whole

The room you loved still waits in gentle stillness

And every corner whispers thoughts of you

I thought I was the one who gave you comfort

But every day, your love was pulling me through

Somewhere beyond the morning sky

I hope you’re running free

Chasing the sunlight through the fields

Like you once ran beside me

And if your heart still remembers mine

Then please don’t be afraid

Because every step I take from now

Still carries the love we made

Your leash still sways so tenderly

But now I hold the memories instead

The little soul who changed my life forever

Still curls beside me in my head

Thank you for the countless days of kindness

For every quiet joy you gave to me

Until the day our paths can cross again

You’ll always be my sweetest memory

The morning air is cold without you here

But your warmth never truly fades away

So I will softly whisper, “Thank you”…

Every single day
