Rainbow Bridge (A Dog's Goodbye)

Full Song Lyrics

[Intro]

Yeah... this one's for the good boys and girls...

[Verse 1]

There's a field just past the sunset, green as green can be,

No more aches, no more limpin', running wild and free, Tail up high, ears flappin', chasing something in the wind, That's where the good dogs wait for us, right there at the end.

[Verse 2]

I still hear those paws on hardwood, still expect that bark, Still leave a little space beside me when the porch gets dark, But I know you're at the Bridge now, young again, no pain, Waitin' for the day we're together, waitin' in the rain or shine.

[Chorus]

Over the Rainbow Bridge, runnin' fast and free, Over the Rainbow Bridge, waitin' there for me, No more sick days, no more goodbyes,

Just tail wags and sunshine on the other side. [Verse 3]

Some folks don't get it, say it's just a dog, But you were half my heartbeat, you were half my log, Every walk, every mornin', every 'good boy, every treat, Livin' on inside me, keepin' time to your heartbeat.

[Chorus]

Over the Rainbow Bridge, runnin' fast and free, Over the Rainbow Bridge, waitin' there for me, No more sick days, no more goodbyes,

Just tail wags and sunshine on the other side.

[Bridge - slow, gravelly, half-spoken]

One day I'II walk up that hill and you'll come runnin', Just like you always did, like no time passed at all.

Till then, old friend... save me a spot in the sun. [Final Chorus]

Over the Rainbow Bridge, runnin' fast and free, Over the Rainbow Bridge, waitin' there for me, No more sick days, no more goodbyes, Just tail wags and sunshine on the other side.

[Outro]

Good dog... good boy... good girl...

I'Il see you at the Bridge.
