My Old Friend
by
Russ Towne

 
You picked me the moment we met
And you knew right from the start
We were supposed to be together
You ran straight to my arms and into my heart.

I couldn’t ask for a more loyal companion
You’d risk your life to save mine.
When I was sick in bed for a week
You stayed right by my side the whole time.

You once ruined our brand new carpet
When you ate my whole birthday cake.
My wife forgave us because you’re cute
Though getting sick is no excuse for the mess you made!

But I’m far from perfect too
I can be cranky for days
When I growl ‘n bark and snap at you
You still always love me anyways.

Your face is growing whiter
And your pace is off a step
Let’s make the most of
Whatever time we have left.

My Old Friend,
Life with you is better, My Old Friend
It’s always an adventure I wish would never end,
And I’m glad we have each other, My Old Friend!
So glad we have each other, My Old Friend.
