An Aspin’s Song
by Barbie Almalbis
I know you need somebody
To be there by your side
You know I’m always ready
To do what makes you smile
Don’t go looking elsewhere
For someone prettier than me
Are they brighter, stronger, sweeter?
Look into my eyes, you’ll see
Why can’t it be me?
Why can’t I be your best buddy?
The places we could see
Hand on my head
Choose me instead
I’ve so much love to give, you’ll see
I don’t need fancy dresses
Or shoes for my little feet
No need for pedigree or papers
To show you what you mean to me
I’ll be always faithful
If you choose to take me home
Look beyond what’s on the outside
You know I’ll live for you alone
Why can’t it be me?
Why can’t I be your best buddy?
The places we could see
Hand on my head
Choose me instead
I’ve so much love to give, you’ll see
I dream of a day when I’m old and gray
When I can’t run so far anymore
But there you’d be as you promised me
Yours will be the last face I’ll see
‘Cause yes it could be me
Oh, can I be your best buddy?
The places we could see
Hand on my head
Choose me instead
I’ve so much love to give, you’ll see
