You were our dog Barney
Since before I can recall
Ever since you were young and small

But back then to me you
Were nothing more than a pet
I was young, didn't know you yet

Then as years passed
I always knew
That you were cast
To me like glue
We'd have a blast
And I loved you

But on from here ...
You've disappeared, and ...

Back when you'd bark
In the dog park
You and me would race around the grass and play and it was a lark

Back when we were younger
And you played a major part
On my life and of course my heart
We knew we were lucky
You were young, active and keen
And everything could have been

But now I'm left empty inside
My tummy hurts, my heart is tied
It hurts so much that I have cried
And when I cry
No one knows why, but ...
Back when you'd bark
In the dog park
You and me and a ball on a rope, playing

I thought you'd stay
As long as time
But back in May
You went and I'm
Lying here distressed
Dad said it's for the best
He never told me why you were put to rest

But these are the wounds that time cannot mend
I'd wished your company would never end
You were born just a dog, but died a great friend

I ran outside
Alone and cried

You're my Barney
If only I could have my Barney
If we could be ...
