Old Dogs

Old dogs lie beside the door
 They toss and turn and scratch and snore
 They fight again their puppy wars
 Of playful battles raging
 Old dogs lie alone at night
 They tuck their tails; they curl up tight
 They howl when moons are full and bright
 And recall when they were lovers
 Old dogs have a song to sing
 Old dogs like 'most ev'rything
 They care not what the weather brings
 Except when it is thunder
 Old dogs look you in the eye
 They hold your heart; they never lie
 They bark at planes up in the sky
 And wish that they were fliers
 Old dogs dream about the past
 When they frolicked fields of golden grass
 And chased the icy winter's blast
 To lie by home fires burning
 Old dogs wander off alone
 Old dogs know the way back home
 The slightest scent, the very bone
 Of hunter home returning
 Old dogs come and old dogs go
 Old dogs always seem to know
 That love is life's most precious flow
 And love is worth the waiting
 When their time on earth is through
 Old dogs are forever true
 And round the bend they wait for you
 Come some tomorrow morning
 When their time on earth is through
 Old dogs are forever true
 And round the bend they wait for you
 Come some tomorrow morning
