As I stand here with tears Streaming down my face I think of all the years That he ran his good race Always a faithful friend And never once late True through to the end We'll meet at Heaven 's Gate How he loved his toys And yes, his dinner He loved girls and boys He was always a winner I truly miss his love And his wagging tail But now he's home above Never again to ail Thank you Lord above For lending me a friend Reminding me of his love For now You his needs attend When I go home at last I know my pets I'll see We'll remember the past With hearts filled with glee
