Caddie and this baby

There’s an old little dog sleeping by my side

Grey in her fur but love in her eyes

She’s been with me through storms and pain

Through every loss, through every rain

She saw me cry when heaven called

She stayed right there through it all

Little paws on my pillow at night

Guarding my heart till morning light

Chorus

And one day soon a baby will laugh

Tiny hands reaching out so fast

And I can see it already somehow

Caddie standing watch right now

Old little heart, loyal and true

Meeting the baby I prayed for too

Two of my miracles in one room

Love that grew through the gloom

Verse 2

Fifteen years and she’s still here

My tiny shadow through every tear

She never knew the words to say

But she healed my soul anyway

And when this baby comes along

She’ll hear Caddie’s little song

The softest tail against the floor

A love that’s older than before

Chorus

And one day soon a baby will laugh

Tiny hands reaching out so fast

And I can see it already somehow

Caddie standing watch right now

Old little heart, loyal and true

Meeting the baby I prayed for too

Two of my miracles in one room

Love that grew through the gloom

Bridge

Some angels have wings

Some angels have paws

And they stay with us

Through every loss

Final Chorus

And when my baby learns to crawl

Caddie will follow through the hall

Guarding that little life so small

Like she guarded me through it all
