Mackenzie Johnson's video: A Song For My Gizmo

My family and I just lost the sweetest boy, our 14 year-old puppy Gizmo. It was hard searching for the right words, so I did my best to write them into a song. This is for you, my Giz and anyone who may be feeling what I'm feeling right now 🐾 LYRICS: Verse 1 It’s been forever but not long ago Four little legs and a Christmas bow I’d never seen a sweeter sight before Even though you came in and peed on the floor Three little kids who were in love with you Our big sister and our parents too Held us together just like you were glue So many things around for you to chew You watched me go from girl to awkward teen Sat right beside me when the kids were mean Barked at other dogs up on the tv screen So crazy but you were my sanity Chorus Good boy, good boy Sit down, stay forever Let’s play together But you don’t feel good boy, good boy Promise you’ll feel better up there in heaven Still can’t believe that you could leave Who’s gonna greet me at my door? Holding your leash as you leap up in the backseat of that Ford Every single little thing about you, baby bear I swear I’m gonna miss My Giz Verse 2 You’d always win when we would race back home You were so strong for such a little one But over time we’d find that you’d go slow So we took our time with you but we did know That you weren’t exactly how you’d always been Your face was gray, the clock was ticking quick A little body and too big a heart How mom would cry watching you in the yard And the medications had become a chore Not fair for you to handle anymore Just too good for this world to watch it turn You left it soon cause you had less to learn Chorus Bridge You held down the fort Since 2004 Yeah, life is too short But I can’t see you like this You were my constant My loyal sidekick Saying goodbye, Gizmo Is so painful, I can’t describe it I walked our path the day we let you go Pretended you were walking with me, Mo I turned around and something caught my eye Right on a tree, a big blue butterfly Its wings looked just like your big wispy ears The ones I’ve known for over 14 years They call you papillon because of those It’s French for butterfly so now I know Each time I see one flutter by it’s you Following me just like you always do Good boy, my Giz My baby bear, my bubba My buddy My brotha from anotha motha Tough talkin’ “was” and not “is” I miss my Giz Mackenzie L.
