The Rainbow Bridge - The words of the Rainbow Bridge poem set to music.

I Stood By Your Bed

I stood by your bed last night
I came to have a peep
I could see that you were crying
You found it hard to sleep

I whined to you softly
As you brushed away a tear
"it's me, I haven't left you
I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here"

I was close to you at breakfast
I watched you pour your tea
You were thinking of the many times
Your hands reached down to me

I was with you a at the store today
Your arms were getting sore
I longed to take your parcels
I wish I could do more

I walked with you toward the house
As you fumbled for your keys
I gently put my paw on you
I smiled and said "It's me"

You look so very tired
And sank into a chair
I tried so hard to let you know
That I was standing there

It's possible for me
To be so near you every day
To say to with certainty
"I never went away"

You sat there very quietly
Then smiled, I think you knew
In the stillness of that evening
I was very close to you

The day is over
I smile and watch you yawn
And say "Good night, God Bless"
I'll see you in the morning

And when the time is right for you
To cross the brief divide
I'll rush across to greet you
And we'll be side by side

I have so many things to show you
There is so much for you to see
Be patient, live your journey out,
Then come home and be with me.
