[Intro] Easy does it. I will wait for you. [Verse 1] Your coat used to be as black as the midnight sky Now there is a little frost around your chin We do not run through the tall grass anymore Or chase the squirrels all the way to the fence Your legs are getting tired a little bit faster But your tail still wags exactly the same [Pre-Chorus] The years have turned into a quiet walk We do not need to hurry, we do not need to talk [Chorus] We are moving at a much slower pace Taking the time to feel the sun on our face I will carry you up the wooden stairs And brush the tangles from your graying hairs Every single day is a gift that we share I promise I will always be right there [Verse 2] I remember when you chewed my favorite shoes And dug a massive hole in the flower bed Now you mostly dream on the orthopedic mat Sighing heavily when the mailman knocks Your vision is fading and your hearing is faint But you know my footsteps coming down the hall [Chorus] We are moving at a much slower pace Taking the time to feel the sun on our face I will carry you up the wooden stairs And brush the tangles from your graying hairs Every single day is a gift that we share I promise I will always be right there [Outro] Good boy. Take a rest.
