If my dear you could talk
Or even say a word
The things I'd like to hear you say
and the things that would be heard.
If my friend you could talk
and raise your voice to speak
Oh my the things you'd tell me
about the moments you felt weak.
If my love you could talk
The things that you could say
When I tell you about my problems
Or talk about my day.
You would tell me everything
From your nightmares to your dreams
About running freely in a field
Or playing in a stream.
I know my dear that you can't speak
But honey if you could
I know you'd be so thankful
For the life that's been so good.
So friend please listen closely
Even though you don't know these words
The kisses and the barks
I promise they are heard.
So my friend I know you're mute
I'll tell you this right now.
No matter what life brings us
I'm here to take this vow.
You're not just my pet you're my best friend
And one closest by my side.
I'll listen to you and you'll listen to me
Until the day we say goodbye.
I know that you can't speak or talk
So give me kisses on the hand,
You talk to me in languages
That only some can understand.
I want to thank you for the times
and the memories that we made
and I know you're happy
when your tail begins to wag.
A dogs love is rare and true
You wonder about their minds
their love is the big and their love is great
and you can read it in their eyes.
So even though you cannot talk
or even say a word
I see the things you want to say
and I promise they are heard.
