A Tail Wags In Heaven

 

Forty-four years ago today

A pretty little lady was born

With four paws and a tail that wags

White fur coat, cute as can be

Love at first sight, my heart she stole

 

I said, “Hey there little lady

 You’re comin’ home with me”

Big bag of Puppy Chow and toys galore

I’ll be you’re best friend for life

And Shelby you can be mine

 

Chorus:

Wag that tail, wag that tail

Pretty smile from a Samoyed female

Always so happy to run and play

Or quietly beside me she would lay

When her waggin’ tail I’m missin’

I know a tail wags in heaven

 

Your days were numbered

 I’m sorry to say

Cause I’m really missin’ my best friend now

My little lady always with a smile for me

So hard it was to say goodbye

 

Thirty-three years since I had her here

But from a picture frame she still looks out at me

With that familiar look

“Oh Shelby girl, won’t you please

Oh Shelby please, wag that tail for me”

 

Chorus:

Wag that tail, wag that tail

Pretty smile from a Samoyed female

Always so happy to run and play

Or quietly beside me she would lay

When her waggin’ tail I’m missin’

I know a tail wags in heaven

 

Repeat Chorus:

Wag that tail, wag that tail

Pretty smile from a Samoyed female

Always so happy to run and play

Or quietly beside me she would lay

When her waggin’ tail I’m missin’

I know a tail wags in heaven

 

Shelby go for ride?

Wag that tail, wag that tail

Shelby wags that tail
