| Description: |
There's Holly who is the President of my fan club, but this is about a Holly who's my golden retriever!

| Notes: |
Another song in my "song a day" writing campaign

| Lyrics: |
Every day when I come home you’re staring out the picture window
You give me that old heavy sigh when I ask you how your day went
When I start to make a meal you lay down by the kitchen table
Make me step right over you just to make me feel a little bit guilty
When I watch PBS you act like you’re the Queen of boredom
And when I switch to Jeopardy you get up and walk away
What have I done to you to make you look so damn downhearted
Would a little belly rub bring a smile to your face
Holly (when the doorbell rings you spring to life like a full blown nut case)
Holly (when our friends arrive you turn into a whirling dervish)
Holly (all I ask of you is to show a little reservation)
Holly (it doesn’t seem to bother you that people think you’re crazy)
When I wake up in the morn you sit there while I make the coffee
The routine never varies much, it the same thing every day
Looking in your big brown eyes I know just what your brain is thinking
Such a simple girl, you just want to get outside
Holly (when we’re driving to the park you can’t sit still anticipating)
Holly (running through the soccer field your golden hair on fire)
Holly (such great pleasure from the simple act of exercising)
Holly (almost takes my breath away to see you so alive)
Every day when I come home you’re staring out the picture window
Looking in your big brown eyes I know just what you're thinking
