Danny on the Bridge

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Danny was the sweetest one The handsomest horse I knew He’d press his nose in my palm Like he knew just what to do His coat shone soft as morning His eyes held a steady light And when he laid his head near mine It made the whole world feel right [Chorus] Danny, Danny, run free No pain in those legs now Danny, Danny, run free In heaven’s fields right now Every soul up there will see How loved you were by me Danny, Danny, run free Where the hurt can’t be [Verse 2] Now the barn feels too quiet His halter hangs alone There’s an empty spot by the gate Where he used to bring me home And I know he’s with the others That crossed before his time Galloping through those open fields Beneath a softer sky [Chorus] Danny, Danny, run free No pain in those legs now Danny, Danny, run free In heaven’s fields right now Every soul up there will see How loved you were by me Danny, Danny, run free Where the hurt can’t be [Bridge] And he’s missing that tail of his But heaven made it plain It only proves how special he was How deep he’ll always stay One day on the Rainbow bridge I’ll reach for you again Hold you tight and ride you home Like we did back when [Final Chorus] Danny, Danny, run free No pain in those legs now Danny, Danny, run free In heaven’s fields right now Every soul up there will know How loved you were by me Danny, Danny, run free Until I meet you, wait for me
