The Heart of Danny Boy

I look and see her coming, I softly start to neigh
Telling her I’m waiting, for her to come my way
She doesn’t really know it, but she is my dearest friend
I know I’ll travel with her, until the day I end

And, once when we were riding, she slipped off to the ground
I simply stood beside her, until help did come around
That’s what friends always do, they stay right by the side
A horse with his rider, you just cannot divide

We loved equestrian jumping events, they were our specialty
You wore dressage riding clothes as we traveled the country
You always took extra care so I would look my best
I proudly held my head up high, prancing to the contest

It was our life, we created a bond, those memories to hold
You can go back with your thought, but a picture is pure gold
We knew one day it would have to end, time does not stand still
Know in your heart, I see you, looking down from up the hill
