Lay your hand upon my head
So I can feel your touch
My eyes are dim but let me see
That face I love so much
My limbs are weak - so lay with me
And hold me very close
You are my very dearest friend
The one I love the most
I cannot speak and so I put
My faith and trust in you
Because your love for me is strong
You know what you must do
Let me feel you by my side
I want to feel you near
Whisper words of love to me
Those words I need to hear
The time has come for me to go
The Rainbow Bridge awaits
And all those hounds who’ve gone before
Are waiting at the gates…
To welcome me – so “Farewell” friend
I must be on my way
Hold me tightly in your arms ..
But wipe your tears away
We won’t forget the happy times…
we shared – both you and I
It’s time to go – but there’s no doubt
Our love will never die
