Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Out back in the yard, he’d run like the wind,
Chasin’ them bubbles with that doggone grin.
Ears perked up when a chopper flew by,
He’d bark at the sky like he owned that wide blue high.

[Verse 2]
He’d chase off tip birds, patrolin’ with pride,
With a shepherd’s heart and Faye by his side.
Every day with him was a sweet, sweet song,
Now this old house feels a little less strong.

[Chorus]
Now he’s runnin’ in a place where the grass never dies,
With bubbles floatin’ up to them heaven-high skies.
He’s watchin’ the gate, just beyond that cloud,
Waitin’ for his family, tail waggin’ proud.
Oh the joy that he gave, we can’t recreate—
He’s gone too soon,
But he’s waitin’ by the gate.

[Verse 3]
He made us laugh, he made us whole,
Wove himself right through our soul.
There ain’t a day we don’t feel that space,
Where his love lived loud and left its trace.

[Bridge]
No more pain, no fences to climb,
Just chasin’ those choppers in God’s good time.
And I know someday when I walk through that door,
He’ll be there like always, dancin’ on that floor.

[Final Chorus]
Now he’s runnin’ in a place where the grass never dies,
With bubbles floatin’ up to them heaven-high skies.
He’s watchin’ the gate, just beyond that cloud,
Waitin’ for his family, tail waggin’ proud.
Oh we miss him so deep, but his joy won’t fade—
He’s still with us…
Waitin’ by the gate.

[Outro]
So save me a spot, my beautiful boy,
Where bubble trails rise and tails leap with joy.
Till then I’ll remember, every bark, every shake—
Of the joy you gave…
Waitin’ by the gate.
