When I got home from seeing the lawyer
found out my ex got custody of my daughter
money was quickly running out
My life was a handful of water.
I sat back on my front porch
looking up at the stars
wishin I could go away just that far
from my own broken heart, I was fallen part
my shattered soul was on the loosin end
I didn't have anyone, I needed a friend.
CHORUS
Tara was a good dog
her love was unconditional
It was fact, it was fictional
Through all my hard times
I know I survived
all because she
laid by my side.
without speaking a word
she let me know it would be ok
Tara cuddled me close
and kissed my tears away.
I was diagnosed with cancer
I drove myself home
I cried as all the memories embraced me
but when I walked through that door
she was there just like before.
Chorus
When I passed away
I watched her from heaven.
She didn't eat and she couldn't sleep
2 days later the Lord took her soul to keep
Back together forever
never again are we apart
Her soul lays next to my heart
for she holds the biggest part.
