about

One night I was rehearsing some songs in front of a very happy dog. He lay near me, smiling and intently focused on me, so I made up a song for him and sang it to him. This is what came to me, but I believe it came from him, on behalf of all dogs, who so generously give their love to us,
unconditionally.

lyrics

Ode to a Dog
(words & music by Nicolette Aubourg © 2005)

If I could learn from you - your smiling face,
If I could learn from you - your simple grace,
If I could learn from you,
I’d be renewed.

If I could learn from you – priorities:
play hard, sleep long, don’t bear a grudge
no matter how you’re wronged -
I’d be at peace.

“Give more than you take,
accept with grace,
appreciate anything at all”:
words of wisdom from the mind of a dog.

If I could learn from you - trust everyone;
don’t see their faults, don’t be their judge.
Be their best friend
to the very end.

“Give more than you take,
accept with grace,
appreciate anything at all”:
words of wisdom from the mind of a dog.
