Now your bowl is empty
And your feet are cold
And your body cannot stop rocking
I know
It hurts to let go
Since the day we found you
You have been our friend
And your voice still echoes in the hallways of this house
But now
It's the end
We will be with you
When you're leaving
We will be with you
When you go
We will be with you
And hold you till you're quiet
It hurts to let you go
We will be with you
We will be with you
We will be with you
You will stay with us
And your feet are cold
And your body cannot stop rocking
I know
It hurts to let go
Since the day we found you
You have been our friend
And your voice still echoes in the hallways of this house
But now
It's the end
We will be with you
When you're leaving
We will be with you
When you go
We will be with you
And hold you till you're quiet
It hurts to let you go
We will be with you
We will be with you
We will be with you
You will stay with us

I saw Gotye live last year, and he sang this song. I actually cried my eyes out because I knew the meaning of the song (about his friends' dog, Bronte), and it was very emotional and true. Even now when I listen I can't help but get choked up (me = biggest sap in the world!). Our family dog is 9-years-old and when he goes I know I'll be listening to this song...
