Lyrics
The calendar betrays my dog. So cruel in its measures. Old timers, few and far between; Golden oldies are real treasures. Eyes have gotten cloudy. Legs, now stiff and slow. Her pretty silver muzzle Shimmers like the snow. She doesn't have much longer, But she doesn't know. She doesn't have much longer, But she doesn't know. Fetch the paper. Fetch the ball. Youth can't be retrieved. Heart is willing, spirit strong. But time won't be deceived. It marches on and takes its toll The wounded heart will grieve. So many lost too early, Felled while in their prime. So lucky, I, to have been blessed With precious, borrowed time. She rests beside me on the floor. This golden dog, I do adore. Thirteen years, but I want more. Thirteen years, but I want more. Fetch the paper. Fetch the ball. Youth can't be retrieved. Heart is willing, spirit strong. But time won't be deceived. It marches on and takes its toll The wounded heart will grieve. This golden dog has come to be An essential part of me. The day will come to say goodbye. I'll curse the gods and ask them why. If only time could be denied. If only time could be denied. Fetch the paper. Fetch the ball. Youth can't be retrieved. Heart is willing, spirit strong. But time won't be deceived. It marches on and takes its toll The wounded heart will grieve. Until it catches up to us, We will not concede. Until it catches up to us, We will not concede.
