All it took was a dog walking alone in the street, the little doggie I so wanted to save and I don’t know where he is now, how about my own four-legged son who this moment is lying under my feet waiting. “Bark Check” how I have gone looking for love
And I never ask the stars’ advice
on what to wish for or dream up next
I simply take it to the bank
neglecting to take the time to thank
God… people… my puppy dog once or twice
who never asks and I could never expect
to try, but somehow we both collect
not a dollar, rupee or franc.
No, it’s not some sort of prize
of life or waiting in some paradise.
It’s in every moment it doesn’t need a sec
a minute, a vault or a tank’s
protection, though my little friend you never shrank
from I love you, our names both blank
as love is without a price.
So what the heck
a dog’s love is a blank check
