for Amanda and Barney
I had a friend who'd always been there
I could tell him anything and know that he'd care.
I could talk to him and never be wrong
I could sing to him almost any song.
He'd always be there when I got home
And with him around I was never alone.
He was my dog and I miss him so much
I said more than "goodbye" in that final touch.
He's in heaven, with my Savior, I know
And will be there to greet me when I finally go.
For He knows when even a sparrow falls.
