Four Legs

You tracked mud into the house

Looked so sad when I said “No”

You were always there to greet me

And you cried when I would go.

Well, maybe it was just your time

Guess I did all I could do

Now nothing anyone can say

Keeps me from missing you.

Sometimes four legs are better than two

Sometimes four legs are better than two

You won’t have to hurt anymore

But I still hurt for you

Sometimes four legs are better than two.

I miss your face I miss your eyes

Funny things you used to do

I miss the way you slept by me

And the days I spent with you.

And if you were still here

I’d rub your head and scratch your ears

I’d let you chew up all my shoes

Just to have you near.

Sometimes four legs are better than two

Sometimes four legs are better than two

Never thought that it would be so hard

Living without you

Sometimes four legs are better than two.

It’s not easy finding a friend

A loyal one like you

Now I realize four legs

Can be better than just two.

Though sometimes I break down and cry

I knew we had to say goodbye

And I know you’re doing better now

But that won’t make it easy.

Sometimes four legs are better than two

Sometimes four legs are better than two

Goodbye old friend

I will miss you

Sometimes four legs are better than two.

 

Miss You,
Toby
