Goodbye Old Friend

Goodbye old friend
You were a really great dog
Goodbye old friend
You know I loved you lots

You helped me make it through so many days
And I’m oh so glad to say you were my dog

Goodbye old friend
You were the greatest dog
Goodbye old friend
You know I’ll miss you lots
I still remember when you ate that frog
And I’m glad to say I knew you
And you were my dog

(alternate drafts of the last verses)

The love you gave leaves me truly agog
Halleluiah praise the lord
You were my dog

The love you gave leaves me agog
I’m just sorry there aren’t more words
That rhyme with dog
