A song that we wrote a few years ago as a commission for our friend Chris and her rescue dogs. The commission raised funds for DDA Watch to help dogs affected by BSL. 'Celebrate Your Love'
Well we brought you home
Each and every lonely soul
And some were hurt right to the bone
And we told you now you're safe
You'll never ever be alone
Oh you needed us
And I guess you could say as well we needed love
And that's why we went searching for a friend like you
A friend like us
And every one of you has given such a precious gift
Your life was never easy but you longed to live
And eighteen years or twelve, it all went by too quick
And there's been ones that broke our hearts
And ones that made us laugh
And there's a peacemaker, a barker
And Ozzy who would run away for parties in the park
And there's been times when we have cried
As your hearts grew old and tired
But every one of you remembered
Has a place so deep inside
So we think of you tonight
And raise our glass into the light
For when you left, you left a space
For a lost soul in your place
Each one of you must know
That you've helped your friends to grow
Those around us here today
And those who had to say goodbye
We want to celebrate your love
For only love can truly save
For every happy day we shared
There is a smile a wagging tail
You've given more than you could know
And brought a joy that outlives time
Though you were broken when you came
You healed and loved and loved again
We want to celebrate your love
For only love can truly save
For every happy day we shared
There is a smile a wagging tail
You've given more than you could know
And brought a joy that outlives time
Though you were broken when you came
You healed and loved and loved again
Well we brought you home
Each and every lonely soul
And some were hurt right to the bone
And we told you now you're safe
You'll never ever be alone...
