[Verse 1]

When I walk through that old chipped door,

My dog comes sliding on the hardwood floor.

With a wagging tail and a happy bark,

He’s lit up like the Fourth, while my wife stays stark.

[Verse 2]

She’s planted firmly with her crossword in hand,

Barely looks up—well, you understand.

But that pup’s spinning circles, grinning like mad,

Who knew my best welcome was the one I’ve always had?

[Chorus]

Oh, my dog’s got the warmest hello,

He’s got a heart that shouts, “Don’t you go!”

My wife just nods, “How was your day?”

But my dog’s love steals the show away.

[Verse 3]

There’s no cold shoulders, no judging eyes,

Just a slobbering mouth and tail-wagged surprise.

I could buy the world, offer treasures untold,

But my boy loves me for a belly rub, bold.

[Bridge]

And late in the night, when the house goes still,

He’s curled by my feet, giving me a thrill.

Oh, love so pure, so simple, so strong,

When the world feels wrong, his joy’s where I belong.

[Chorus]

Oh, my dog’s got the warmest hello,

He’s got a heart that shouts, “Don’t you go!”

My wife just sighs, “Hello, it’s you.”

But his fur-filled hug—what more could I do?
