about

A song that will resonate with anyone who's ever loved and lost a dog -- and then opened up his or her heart and done it all over again. This one's in honor of Maggie (yep, that's her on the cover) -- and $1 of each song sale through June 12 will be donated to the MSPCA's Boston Adoption Center.

lyrics

When we first saw your picture, I fell and fell fast
You were scared, but your eyes were so sweet
You had been through quite a wringer or two
Before landing here on your feet

The best gift I’ve been given in all of my years
Was watchin’ you come out of your shell
And seeing your face as you raced ‘round our place
With a look that said: Now, all is well.

Seasons come and seasons go
I love you still and always
Somehow, I hope you still know
I love you still and always
Still and always

Grief is a funny thing—it ebbs and it flows
It both swallows you and sets you free
Like a bird in migration, it’s there, then it goes
Part landslide, part riptide, part sea
One last favorite car ride, one last ice cream cone
One last hold-you-as-close-as-can-be
The hardest part, honey, was comin’ back home
To just silence when I turned the key.

Seasons come and seasons go
I love you still and always
Somehow, I hope you still know
I love you still and always
Still and always

It's been two years now. We’re no longer alone.
She's lovely, she's lively, she's sweet
Like you, she'd been through quite a wringer or two
Before landin' here on her feet
Sometimes I tell myself she'll never grow old
She'll always be right here, in plain view
It's just wishful thinking, ‘cause one day I know
I'll be singing this song to her, too.

Seasons come and seasons go
I love you still and always
Somehow, I hope you still know
I love you still and always
Seasons come and seasons go
I love you still and always
Somehow, I think you still know
I love you still and always
Still and always.
