Lyrics

Soft ears, the color of rust
Brown eyes, gazing with trust
Maybe some day
I?ll see you again
But I?ll never forget you,
My sweet friend.

Some say
Each dog has its day
I ask
Why couldn?t you stay

It might make me stronger
Or kill me instead
I miss my friend at
The foot of
My bed.

(Harmonica solo)

Some say
Each dog has its day
I ask
Why couldn?t you stay

It might make me stronger
Or kill me instead
I miss my friend at
The foot of
My bed?
I miss my friend at the foot of my bed?.

I miss my friend
At the foot of
My bed.
