My Best Friend, Rover (Childrens song)

1st.
I had a little puppy once
and Rover was his name
now he's not a puppy anymore
but I love him just the same.

2nd.
Outside we used to run and play.
We both had so much fun.
I still recall those golden days
and even now they're gone.

Chorus:
He's still my best friend, Rover
(Woof! Woof! Woof!)
The best friend that a boy
(Much better than a toy)
The best friend that a boy
could ever have.

3rd.
His golden fur has turned to grey.
His eyes look sad and wise.
He feels too tired to run and play
but, beside my feet, he lies.

4th.
The day will some day come, I know
when my best friend will be gone
but memories of him that glow
will, in my heart, live on.

Chorus:
He is my best friend, Rover
(Woof! Woof! Woof!)
The best friend that a boy
(Much better than a toy)
The best friend that a boy
could ever have.
