* **Tune:** A slow, acoustic-driven ballad. The song opens with a simple, finger-picked acoustic guitar melody. A mournful steel guitar provides gentle swells after each refrain, emphasizing the feeling of nostalgia and loss. The tempo is unhurried and steady, carrying the story with a quiet, heartfelt rhythm. * **Artist:** George Strait. His classic, sincere vocal delivery would tell the story with authenticity and emotional weight, capturing the song's blend of love and quiet heartbreak. * **Message:** This song is a tribute to the unconditional love for a lifelong canine companion. It explores the universal themes of loyalty, the passage of time, and the profound, bittersweet grief of watching a best friend grow old and slowly fade into memory. *** **(Title: Belongs to Memory)** **(Verse 1)** That muzzle, it used to be jet black When you were just a pup Chasin' squirrels 'til the sun went down And I couldn't make you stop Now there's silver in the whiskers And a cloudiness in your eye You take a long drink from your water bowl And you heave a heavy sigh **(Refrain)** And I see you gettin' slower With that sweet and tired old face And a little more of you belongs To a memory I can't erase It's the hardest kind of lovin' And the quietest goodbye Knowin' a little more of you Belongs to yesterday's sky **(Verse 2)** I watch you when you're sleepin' On your bed there by the door And I see your paws start twitchin' Like they're runnin' free once more Through that field behind the back fence Where you never seemed to tire But the gettin' up is harder now For bones that have lost their fire **(Refrain)** And I see you gettin' slower With that sweet and tired old face And a little more of you belongs To a memory I can't erase It's the hardest kind of lovin' And the quietest goodbye Knowin' a little more of you Belongs to yesterday's sky **(Verse 3)** You were there when my heart was breakin' You were there when the kids were born You just laid your head upon my lap And you weathered every storm Now I sit here and I scratch your ears The way I've always done And I thank the Lord for every day He's given me with you, son **(Refrain)** And I see you gettin' slower With that sweet and tired old face And a little more of you belongs To a memory I can't erase It's the hardest kind of lovin' And the quietest goodbye Knowin' a little more of you Belongs to yesterday's sky
Lyrics
That muzzle, it used to be jet black
When you were just a pup
Chasin' squirrels 'til the sun went down
And I couldn't make you stop
Now there's silver in the whiskers
And a cloudiness in your eye
You take a long drink from your water bowl
And you heave a heavy sigh
And I see you gettin' slower
With that sweet and tired old face
And a little more of you belongs
To a memory I can't erase
It's the hardest kind of lovin'
And the quietest goodbye
Knowin' a little more of you
Belongs to yesterday's sky
I watch you when you're sleepin'
On your bed there by the door
And I see your paws start twitchin'
Like they're runnin' free once more
Through that field behind the back fence
Where you never seemed to tire
But the gettin' up is harder now
For bones that have lost their fire
And I see you gettin' slower
With that sweet and tired old face
And a little more of you belongs
To a memory I can't erase
It's the hardest kind of lovin'
And the quietest goodbye
Knowin' a little more of you
Belongs to yesterday's sky
You were there when my heart was breakin'
You were there when the kids were born
You just laid your head upon my lap
And you weathered every storm
Now I sit here and I scratch your ears
The way I've always done
And I thank the Lord for every day
He's given me with you, son
And I see you gettin' slower
With that sweet and tired old face
And a little more of you belongs
To a memory I can't erase
It's the hardest kind of lovin'
And the quietest goodbye
Knowin' a little more of you
Belongs to yesterday's sky
