The Breakfast Bunch Rattery
Chasing Down The Sky

You were a member of my family and my very closest friend
You loved me like few people can, exactly as I am
You'd listen to me and comfort me when I was feeling down
You'd play with me and sleep with me and follow me around
No matter how my day went or how long you were left alone
You always waited faithfully to welcome me back home
If tears could bring you back to me, you'd be right here today
But you are where you need to be and that is where you'll stay
Because even though you are gone, it's really not goodbye
You simply ran ahead of me like chasing down the sky
And when my own time comes and my own journey ends
I know that you will be there to welcome me home again
