Doggies
By Kevin Roberts
She always was a good dog, she followed me everywhere,
She’d sit while I was eating, just knowing that I would share.
We both grew up together, since I was a little girl,
I couldn’t keep her by my side, whenever she saw a squirrel.
Chorus:
Daddy why is it doggies, don’t live as long as us?
Why can’t it be the same doggy, waiting for my bus?
Grandpa lived to be 90, and Grandma 92,
Daddy why is it doggies, can’t live to be that old too?
She can’t stand like she used to, she’s always falling down,
She used to run like Scooby Doo, chasing things around.
They say that’s how long that doggies live, this makes me feel so bad,
I just don’t want a new doggie now, cause I’m still feeling sad.
Chorus:
Daddy why is it doggies, don’t live as long as us?
Why can’t it be the same doggy, waiting for my bus?
Grandpa lived to be 90, and Grandma 92,
Daddy why is it doggies, can’t live to be that old too?
Bridge;
I’ve heard about that rainbow bridge, it sounds so nice and vast,
I hope she made it there ok, and is back to running fast.
Chorus:
Daddy why is it doggies, don’t live as long as us?
Why can’t it be the same doggy, waiting for my bus?
Grandpa lived to be 90, and Grandma 92,
Daddy why is it doggies, can’t live to be that old too?
