Miss that sound

Verse 1 Little paws on the wooden floor I’d hear you running to the door Curly black fur, tail in the air Like you were saying “I’m right here” Your collar ringing through the hall The smallest sound, I loved it all And every time I’d come back home You’d whine like you’d been all alone Pre-Chorus I never thought the day would come When silence would replace that song Chorus Now the house feels empty without you here But I still hear your collar in my ear Clicking softly through the dark Like a tiny echo in my heart Matilda, I hope you’re running free Somewhere safe where pain can’t be And if heaven has a door I know you’re waiting there for sure Verse 2 You grew older, your eyes went blind Little grey hairs showed up with time But you still found your way to me Your head pressed in so gently You’d nudge my hands to ask for pats Then curl beside me on the mats Those warm wet kisses on my face Were the best part of my day Pre-Chorus And love can’t stop the years from going by But it makes it harder to say goodbye Chorus Now the house feels empty without you here But I still hear your collar in my ear Clicking softly through the dark Like a tiny echo in my heart Matilda, I hope you’re running free Somewhere safe where pain can’t be And if heaven has a door I know you’re waiting there for sure Bridge At the vet you started shaking Like you knew what was ahead I held you close and whispered softly While they stroked your little head Time slowed down inside that room The world felt heavy, thick, and still And when they said your heart had stopped It broke mine against my will Final Chorus Now the house feels empty without you here But I still hear your collar in my ear Clicking softly down the hall Like you’re running when I call Matilda, sweet girl, wait for me Where fields are wide and dogs run free And one day when my time is near I’ll hear your collar loud and clear Outro Little paws on heaven’s floor Running happy like before And in the quiet late at night Your collar still sounds in my mind.
