The Chinese zodiac has a different sign for each year. From February 2006 through February 2007 is the Year of The Dog, so it's a Dog Year. Dog Years are challenging times for those who , like Christy, were born in the year of the Dragon. 2006 has been no exception for Christy, so I wrote this song for her.

Dog Year
Words and music by Gordon McLeod, May, 2006

Chorus:
This Dog Year baby won’t get us down, get us down, get us down,
Just hold on tho the love we’ve found, there’s nothin’ that we’re lackin’
This Dog Year baby won’t get us down, get us down, get us down,
And if the blues comes around our love will send it packin’

Verse 1:
When good news is so hard to find and trouble’s all around us,
We’ll tighten up the tie that bind, thank the stars that love has found us.

Chorus

Verse 2:
I love you baby hold on to my heart, for your heart is the best one.
There’s nothin’ that can keep us apart in this world or the next one.

Chorus

Verse 3
And if you ever feel afraid of storms that you can’t weather,
Remember all the love we made and true love lasts forever

Chorus
