COFFEE, DOGS AND SILENCE (Spoken Intro) These days... I don't need much. A strong cup of coffee. A good dog beside me. And a little silence. Funny how the older you get... the smaller your world becomes... and the richer it feels. (Verse 1) I used to chase noise. Deadlines. Dreams. Places I thought I needed to be. Always running. Always reaching. Always looking over the next hill. But somewhere along the road... life taught me something. Peace isn't found in more. It's found in enough. (Chorus) Coffee. Dogs. And silence. That's where I find God these days. Not in the noise. Not in the headlines. Not in the endless madness of the world. Just a sunrise. A wagging tail. And a quiet moment to breathe. (Verse 2) The coffee doesn't judge me. The dog doesn't care about yesterday. And silence... silence never asks me to be anything except myself. No arguments. No politics. No pretending. Just the sound of the wind. And a loyal friend at my feet. (Chorus) Coffee. Dogs. And silence. Three things that never let me down. When the world gets loud. When people get complicated. When life feels heavier than it should. I come back here. Every single time. (Bridge) Maybe wisdom isn't becoming smarter. Maybe wisdom is learning what matters... and letting go of what doesn't. A lot of things I used to worry about... don't even cross my mind anymore. But that old dog beside me? That matters. (Final Chorus) Coffee. Dogs. And silence. A front porch at sunrise. A heart full of memories. A soul finally at peace. And if tomorrow never comes... don't cry for me. Because you'll know exactly where I was happiest. Sitting right here. Watching the sun come up. With coffee in my hand... A dog by my side... And silence all around me. (Ending) Funny thing about happiness... Most people spend their whole lives chasing it. Only to discover... it was sitting on the porch all along.
