[Verse 1] Prissy had a velvet coat and patient golden eyes She knew the rhythm of the rooms, the footsteps and the sighs She chose her place beside him when the evening settled in A little queen upon the bed, a quiet faithful friend [Chorus] Oh Prissy, you were watching every door and every heart Keeping all your humans safe, doing your devoted part Now the room is still without you, but your love has left a mark You are sleeping close beside us, living on inside our hearts [Verse 2] She watched the young boy tumble through the living room at noon While grandparents kept him laughing underneath the afternoon She followed every little game, then curled beneath a chair As if the whole bright household was her kingdom to repair [Chorus] Oh Prissy, you were watching every door and every heart Keeping all your humans safe, doing your devoted part Now the room is still without you, but your love has left a mark You are sleeping close beside us, living on inside our hearts [Bridge] Then one day he reached beside him where she always used to lie And found her sleeping peacefully, with no more need to try No warning bell, no final cry, just silence soft and deep The sweetest friend he ever knew had simply gone to sleep [Final Chorus] Oh Prissy, you were watching every door and every heart Keeping all your humans safe, doing your devoted part Though the bed is empty now, your memory fills the dark You are sleeping close beside us, living on inside our hearts [Outro] Rest easy, Prissy, beautiful girl You were our shelter in this little world Rest easy, Prissy, faithful and true Every good day still leads us back to you
