Sweet Murphy, rest now
Your struggles are over
Your suffering done
Still your dark eyes shine
Forever in our hearts.
Sweet Murphy
With the whitened face of a graceful old age
Who in your own Labby way
Wagged your way into so many hearts
Watch over your family
We know it is a big job, so many to look after
But we know your heart is big enough
To hold them all, to hold us all
And when we see a yellowgold light on a tree
Or a flickering gold candle flame
We will think of you, this Christmas season
For surely you shine brighter even than those earthly lights
From your spot at the Rainbow Bridge.
