Gentle Rule

Lyrics

[Intro]
[Soft piano melody]
[Verse 1]
Soft footsteps down the hall at night
A gentle sound that's right on time
The clock strikes nine, a voice rings clear
The same request I always hear
Like clockwork, here she comes again
That look that knows just how to win
She'll sit and wait, she'll softly plead
Until I give her what she needs
[Chorus]
She rules with a gentle paw, her way is the only law
(She rules, she rules with love)
[Verse 2]
Her bed sits empty in the sun
While mine becomes her chosen one
She turns away from fancy things
Preferring all the joy food brings
Each morning starts the same sweet way
Her song leads me to start the day
No alarm clock needed here
When she decides that time is near
[Chorus]
She rules with a gentle paw, her way is the only law
(She rules, she rules with love)
[Bridge]
And though she has her own demands
She gives back more than I could plan
Her stubborn love, so pure and true
Makes every single day brand new
[Chorus]
She rules with a gentle paw, her way is the only law
(She rules, she rules with love)
