A sad song about a pet who passed away. The owner struggling with how to say goodbye to a friend.

__LYRICS__

[Instrumental Intro]

 How do I say goodbye to the best friend of my life?
((How do I say goodbye to a friend like you?”))



You met me at the door, tail wagging with cheer,
That little face looking up, always glad I was near.
No matter the weight that the day might bring,
You made it lighter, helped me laugh, helped me sing.
Through the highs and the lows, you were always true,
Every road I walked was better with you.

How do I say goodbye to the best friend of my life?

Laid your head in my lap when my heart would break,
Listened through all the chaos, never once did you shake.
Carried my secrets, stayed close through the fights,
Laughed with me softly in the long, lonely nights.
The couch feels empty, the nights cut like a knife,
How do I say goodbye to the best friend of my life?

The house is quiet, but your echoes still remain,
I hear your bark in the silence, I feel the ache and pain…


How do I say goodbye to a friend,
Who stayed by my bed ‘til the dark would end?
I see your shadow running through these halls,
I still hear your paws when the nighttime calls.
Lillie, my angel, you’re watching from above,
Forever my hound, forever my love.

How do I say goodbye to the best friend of my life?
I still see your shadow running through these halls.
How do I repay a friend who gave me all her love?
Lillie, my angel, watching from above.

Lillie, my angel, watching from above.


“Every road I walked was better with you.
Every storm I faced was softer with you.
The house is empty, the nights still ache…

Lillie—


How do I say goodbye to a friend like you?”
