Blue eyes looking into mine
with a smile so warm and pure
I rub my body against the cage
as she lightly touches my fur

Blue eyes looking into mine
I start to lick your face
suddenly the door opens
and I fall into your embrace

Blue eyes looking into mine
as we enter a bigger room
I try to show you all my tricks
i hope you take me home with you

Blue eyes looking into mine
we're leaving in your car
I'm excited to see my new home
I hope it isn't far

Blue eyes looking into mine
as you teach me how to sit
I promise I'll get better
I hope you still think I'm worth it

Blue eyes looking into mine
You've been crying for awhile
I don't know who made you sad
But I'll be the one to make you smile

Blue eyes looking into mine
as I slowly walk up the stairs
I'm getting pretty old now
I'm starting to get grey hairs

Blue eyes looking into mine
as you carry me to the car
It's getting hard for me to walk
Especially to someplace far

Blue eyes looking into mine
as I'm sitting in the front seat
I usually have to sit in back
This must be a "good boy treat"

Blue eyes looking into mine
as you pull into the parking space
I was here just two weeks ago
I really don't like this place

Blue eyes looking into mine
as the vet sits you down
He says it's time to let me go
You never made a sound

Blue eyes looking into mine
I'll never forget the day
Me and you became family
and I was no longer a stray

Blue eyes looking into mine
as you hold me one last time
If there is just one thing I won't forget
It's those blue eyes looking into mine
