Best Friends Lyrics

When you were lost and all alone

We welcomed you into our home

Shelter from the snow and rain

Food and safety's what we gave

But you provided more to us

Companionship, love and trust

Right by our sides when we felt down

You'd lie so close without a sound

We were lost and then you found us

Our lives enhanced with you around us

We gave all that we could give

For the life that you deserved to live

I can't believe that some don't understand

The bonds we make with our new friends

Because love doesn't stop at human beings

Our animals are family

The hole that you left will get smaller with time

But it will never go away

We've got memories, some scars, and photographs

But nothing can ever replace

All the fun we had, and the quiet times

Hoping it never would end

But part of the process is knowing that we're cursed

To outlive our best friends

When things got bad there's no regret

For your comfort's sake we accepted the debt

But there came a point we could see in your eyes

You let us know that it was time

Years of friendship, years of affection

Those last days deepened our connection

Tears of sadness, tears of relief

No more pain, now you know only peace
