when was just a kid my dad bought a dog for me
bought it for my birthday i was only three
i called him bobby i named after dad
he became my friend best ive ever had

he loved it in the meadow he just love to play
chasing after rabbits as they runaway
i would throw his ball he would bring back to me
he love to be outdoor running wild and free

then there was a tragedy  took bobbies life away
he was fighting with a wolf protecting me that day
bobby lost his battle i lost my best friend
and to doggy heaven each night a prayer i send

when christmas around i always shed a tear
i look up to heaven wishing he was here
we will meet again to bobby i will fly
to be him again in heaven in the sky

christmas time is here put whisky in the jar
line up the wine and beer all along the bar
time for lots of dancing in the line dance way
stomping and a strutting. swivel and a sway
put on the country music.  dance the night away

dancing in line dancing in row
dancing altogether dancing two and fro
hand clapping toe tapping with a turn or two
dance the night away till the early morning dew

christmas time is here dancing all night long
with  a drink or two and  a country song
dancing in line dancing in row
dancing altogether dancing two and fro

hand clapping toe tapping with a turn or two
dance the night away till the early morning dew

dancing altogether dance the  night away

never believed in love till the day i met you
thought it was just a fairytale never really true
then you came along took my breath away
my belief in love came to me that day

we went  for a walk along the moonlit sand
my heart it  skipped a beat when you held my hand
stars were shining brightly way up high above
that the night i knew there was really love

im so glad we met.  you brought love me
now i know for sure its not just fantasy
i will love always never let you go
nrver believed in love but now i reallyknow

i wake up each morning to a lonely room
darkness in my mind im living in a tomb
light that  once was there as faded from my mind
since i dont have you im living in the blind

everything around me  empty and so bare
gone now as the love that was always there
walked away from me with somebody new
love you had for me took that with you  to

since youve been gone my world an empty place
world i once knew i can no longer face
living in the shadows of a love that i once knew
love i used to know when there was me and you
