Sleep Easy, Coco

Lyrics

Verse 1
Coco, you’re curled beside my chair
Your silver muzzle resting there
I trace the ears I know by heart
And wish tomorrow stayed afar

Pre-Chorus
I’d keep you here through every dawn
But love means easing what hurts on

Chorus
I don’t want you to go, Coco
I’m not ready to say goodbye
But I can’t ask you to stay hurting
Just to keep you by my side
When you cross that rainbow bridge tomorrow
Take my love along with you
I’ll miss you more than words can hold
And let you go because I love you

Verse 2
Your leash still hangs beside the door
Your pawprints cross the kitchen floor
You taught my quiet house to sing
With every small and faithful thing

Pre-Chorus
I’d trade the world to change this day
But I won’t make you hurt to stay

Chorus
I don’t want you to go, Coco
I’m not ready to say goodbye
But I can’t ask you to stay hurting
Just to keep you by my side
When you cross that rainbow bridge tomorrow
Take my love along with you
I’ll miss you more than words can hold
And let you go because I love you

Bridge
So rest your head; you’ve done enough
You gave me years of gentle love
I’ll hold your name in every room
And miss the warmth you brought me home to

Final Chorus
I don’t want you to go, Coco
Still, I’ll stay right by your side
I’ll help you cross that bridge tomorrow
And keep you safe as pain falls quiet
I’ll miss you more than words can hold
Though I must let you go
You’ll always be my good girl, Coco
The one I love and know

Outro
Sleep easy, Coco, close your eyes
My love will stay; you’re by my side
