Put Her Down Lyrics

I saw my mother weep today

Stepped through dreary doors and had to turn her face away

From the dearest friend I'd had in years

Two feet tall, a favored paw, and unaware of tears

And so we both sat down

I found it hard to speak today

We gave her chocolate so, before she went, she'd know the taste

And I wondered if she'd even like it

It wasn't long 'til it was gone and she was sorta smilin

So we laid her down

We let her find her peace today

Watched a quiet man slip something sleepy in her veins

I held her close, still warm but lifeless

The loudest pup I'd ever loved, now safe and still and silent

And we put her down
