Though your trust and love was lost,
And hardship turned your heart to frost,
I will mend your heart again.
Remember the feeling as a pup,
The morning smiled when you woke up,
It's time you felt like that again.
No good can come from you remembering the past,
Its time you learned to live again at last.
Come with me, leave yesterday behind,
There's a whole new world for you to find.
You stare at me with disbelief,
You think for you there's no relief,
But pup, I swear, I won't do you harm.
Don't sit there in your gloomy cage,
Just looking back in silent rage,
There's no more need for you to show alarm.
Come with me I'll take you where the taste of life is green
And every day holds wonders to be seen
Come with me, leave yesterday behind
There's a whole new world for you to find.
Though your trust and love was lost,
And hardship turned your heart to frost,
I will mend your heart again.
Remember the feeling as a pup,
The morning smiled when you woke up,
Its time you felt like that again.
No good can come from you remembering the past,
Its time you learned to live again at last.
Come with me leave your yesterday behind,
There's a whole new world for you to find.
