Lyrics
As a kid, I learned the golden rule. The pastor taught us after school. Do unto others, he would chide. I thought him foolish, I'll confide. I've grown and learned along the way. Wonder where that reverend is today. His lessons finally realized; Transferred through my dog's soft eyes. Treat me kindly. Teach me well. In you, I place my trust. I love you with abandon. I've faith your heart is just. A patient man, I've never been. No stranger to an angry sin. The first chewed shoe ruined my day. And I was gonna make her pay. She tucked her tail at the first whack. Calmly braced for the attack. My rage met with her gentle eyes, And suddenly I realized Treat me kindly. Teach me well. In you, I place my trust. I love you with abandon. I've faith your heart is just. She always greets me with great cheer, Loves to snuggle with me near. Never gripes when I'm flat broke, Just nudges for another stroke. Likes my family and my friends, Would like me even in Depends. To be like her, at last I yearned. She freely gives pure love unearned. Treat me kindly. Teach me well. In you, I place my trust. I love you with abandon. I've faith your heart is just. Ironic that life's real teacher Was just a dog and not my preacher. A humble dog, all colored gold Saved me 'fore I grew too old. Do unto others, now I strive. My moral side has come alive. I've learned the golden rule indeed. This golden rules me with her creed. Treat me kindly. Teach me well. In you, I place my trust. I love you with abandon. I've faith your heart is just.
