Lyrics
The Dog with the Moon in her Eyes (words and music by Nicolette Aubourg)
They say she came from Fresno, California.
We were looking for a friend to fill a void
and somehow we were blessed to take her home.
She always gave her love and asked for little in return.
Her acceptance without judgment was a lesson to be learned.
Her devotion had no need for words.
And so she came into our lives -
The dog with the moon in her eyes.
Her heart was pure joy and light.
She could melt you with her smile
Or charm you with the brightest mind -
The dog with the moon in her eyes.
I always knew the day would come when we would part
and there’d be a space the shape of her inside my heart
that no other love could fit inside the same.
And so she came into our lives -
The dog with the moon in her eyes.
Her heart was pure joy and light.
She could melt you with her smile
Or charm you with the brightest mind -
The dog with the moon in her eyes.
I see her in the morning light,
I hear her salute to life.
I feel her watching over me -
I know her spirit’s strong.
It’s me who needs the strength to go on.
And so she came into our lives -
The dog with the moon in her eyes.
Her heart was pure joy and light.
She could melt you with her smile
Or charm you with the brightest mind -
The dog with the moon in her eyes.
There’s no good way to die
but if I could rewind time,
she’d leave the world on her own terms -
running wild, the moon in her eyes.
