An empty spot on the floor, like a constant reminder that you are no more
We must try to mend, to figure out feelings when loosing a friend
But we are not far apart, I know because you are still close to our hearts

Climbing up, while the rope is burning
Time to stop the cards from turning
It's an epical ride when there's no place to hide
While the memories still linger on

You came into our world, a ball full of energy covered in fur
Courageous and loyal, a friend from the start you won both of our hearts

Climbing up, while the rope is burning
Time to stop the cards from turning
It's an epical ride when there's no place to hide
While the memories still linger on
- - -

Stumbling and falling, running before you could walk
You learned to fit in without language or words, without talk
A brave little thing that believed it just could not get hurt
But you always brought joy and happiness in to our world

Yes, your body is gone but for both of us you still feel near
You are running and playing beside us as if you are here
New life was exciting, a thrilling adventure, brand new
And if I ever find it I will certainly save it for you

It seems common now a days to claim the order of all things
That humans are the first in line, the once and future kings

You are not alone when you find little Jack at your side
A special relation that stands out all day and all night
No time on earth proofs quite sufficient to spent it with you
But time plays its own part that leaves us not much we can do

But night will come, it surely does, no doubt about the future
And when it does all things must end, it lurks around the corner
And now it's coming for you

--------

Stay, please, little one
Though it can't be done
Can't you stay a while
Try to buy some time
But father time is relentless
Shows no mercy at all
Time has its way being heartless, even trees break down and fall

I really don't care if ther'e people around me who think
That I am some sort of looney to write bout the mood that I'm in
Sure life will go on, it gets better with each passing day
But these words are for you and help us to get on our way

Cause the night will come, for everyone, for every living thing
We can't deny that time effects the play that we are in
And once the piper calls

Stay, please, little one
Though it can't be done
Can't you stay a while
If we buy some time
But father time is relentless
Shows no mercy at all
time has its way being heartless, even trees break down and fall

Stay, please, little one
Though it can't be done
Can't you stay a while
Try to buy some time
But father time is relentless
Shows no mercy at all
time has its way being heartless, even trees break down and fall

----------

Now time has come, to leave this world,
There is no plan, no magic words

The best of times, true friend of us,
A spark divine, now turned to dust,

I do not know, nobody does
Where love will go, when leaving us

But I wish you well, where ever you are going
