Songs to the tune of Linus

Renewed Linus Song
Linus I have loved you from the start
Linus I can't help it
you abducted my heart

And no matter where I roam
you're beside me I know
I love you Linus and you love me.

You knock over the Christmas tree
and do tricks for treats
then you wake me up at 3 am
to chew on my feet.

And no matter where I roam
you're beside me I know
I love you, Linus and you love me.

Now that you're older
you perch on my shoulder
and when I'm sickly
you take care of me even though it's icky.

And now that you've moved on
I have to change this song.
But still I love you Linus
and you love me.
I will love you
through all space and eternity.

Ouch
Ouch
what I wouldn't give
to have you on the back of the couch
where you belong; to have you live
with me for a little more
as long as you
weren't sore.
I miss you.
There is a crater in my life
that you made when you left this plane
There's a light
you brought to my life
that I look for every night.
My back, feels as if a knife
has been stuck between my shoulder blades
since you've been gone.
I've had one good night of sleep, well, may-
be two since you've been gone.
The pain doesn't fade
it doesn't diminish.
I feel like this play
has had a sick finish.
Most days I fake it
- and almost believe - that I'm okay
but I can't shake it
- no real relief - I don't want you away.
You were so much a part of me
and now that you have departed from me
I feel I have to relearn life.
It's almost like having to learn to walk again,
to breathe again
to talk again
to be me again.
To be everything again without you, Linus.
Minus Linus
I am a sore excuse for a person.
Without you, I am a diet version.
I miss you, my best friend.
I don't think I could ever be prepared
for the end.
I never thought you could make me care
so much with how many defenses
I had built.
And now I don't know
if that part of me has been killed,
if I have anywhere else to grow
even after everything you've taught.
I want to make you proud of me
but right now that's a lot
to ask for
a task for
which I am not prepared.
I never thought I could have cared
this much for anyone again.
I truly miss you my dearest friend.

Salve
I wish I could translate
from my memory and my emotions
how much you meant to me each day
but it's muddled like the oceans
Every night I lay
with the hopeful notion
that I will wake up to find
that this was all a dream
I wouldn't mind
not waking up to scream
from the loss I still find
as tears stream
I find you still have left me
I live with guilt, an angry friend
a friend I can communicate
with but who screams to no end
I don't know how to relate
even to those whose ears they lend
Is there a deeper name
for pain?
A stronger adage
for rage?
Is there a way to employ
the joy
that you brought to me each day
that you still stayed?
Anything I have you can have.
Anything I can get I would give.
If I could find the salve
to let you live.

Free Fallin
He's a good by, loves his mama
Loves catnip and doing tricks too
He's a good boy crazy bout Star Trek
Loves Mandarin and the Beatles too

Its a long day living in Kingsford
There's no freeway around us at all
And I'm a bad girl cause I can't not miss him
I'm a bad girl for stopping his heart

And I'm free, free fallin
Yeah I'm free, free fallin

All the vets are workin in their clinics
And all of their hearts soon fill with shards
And all the bad boys visit in the shadows
All the good girls are home with broken hearts

And I'm free, free fallin
Yeah I'm free, free fallin
Free fallin, now I'm free fallin, now I'm
Free fallin, now I'm free fallin, now I'm

I wanna take his soul to Valhalla
I wanna write his name in the sky
Gonna free fall out into nothin
Wanna leave this world for a while

And I'm free, free fallin
Yeah I'm free, free fallin

Morning Mouring
Mourning has broken me, like the first mourning
Eulogies spoken, like the first words
Pain in the singing, pain in the mourning
Pain in the stinging fresh from the world

Feel my new heart's fall, he sits in heaven
Like the first anvil, knocked off my a@@
I miss his sweetness, I feel myself weaken
With him was completeness and now he has passed

Mine was the sunlight I am now mourning
Born with this one life, I miss his face
I miss his elation, pain every morning
Wish for inspiration, to get through each day.

Another Linus Song
You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
even though you're grey.
You'll never know dear,
how much I love you
Please don't take my Linus away.

Hurt
I hurt again today
At least it's something to feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
With you I found I was whole
With you my familiar, I'd sing
Memories ebb and fade
But I will remember everything

What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everywhere I see you
My dear friend
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I had to put you down
I am left with hurt

I'm left forlorn
upon the rolling chair
Full of broken shards
I cannot repair
mistakes in the strains of time
The feelings reappear
I am someone else

But I am still right here

What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everywhere I go I see you
My dear friend
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I had to put you down
I am left with hurt.

If I could start again
A few light years away
I would keep you for myself
And take away your pain
