💔 Full Lyrics – Dog Memorial Version of Still Waiting at the Door
You came into my life with muddy paws and eyes so wide.
Chasing sticks and butterflies, you never left my side.
Years went by like falling leaves,
But your love stayed the same.
With every wag and gentle nudge, you answered to your name.
Now the leash hangs quiet on the wall,
No barking when I make that call.
But I still hear you in the silence,
Feel your warmth upon the floor.
Though I knew that time would take you, it hurts like never before.
We all must say goodbye someday, but I thought we had some more.
Still catch myself just looking for you, waiting at the door.
You grew gray around the muzzle.
I held your trembling frame.
Tried to smile through the sorrow, but nothing feels the same.
You gave me more than I deserved—
A heart so brave and true.
And when the world felt far too much, I always turned to you.
Now your bed lies empty by my chair,
But I still feel you everywhere.
Yeah, I still hear you in the silence,
Feel your tail tap on the floor.
Though I knew the day was coming, it still cuts me to the core.
They say all things must end someday,
But I thought we had some more.
Still catch myself just reaching for you, waiting at the door.
If there's a place where good dogs go,
I hope you're running free—
Chasing all the dreams we shared and saving one for me.
'Cause I still hear you in the silence,
Feel your spirit even more.
Though the house is full of memories,
It’s your shadow I search for.
One day I'll walk that final part,
And you’ll greet me like before.
Until then, I keep on looking for you, waiting at the door.
This version of the song beautifully captures the bittersweet emotions of losing a beloved dog — the silent house, the empty leash, and the hope of meeting again someday.
