Lyrics:

[Intro]A run-down cottage, with orchard so dry,An old widow lived, memories passing by.A stray dog she found in need one day,She rescued the dog into her humble way.[Verse]With kindness and love, she treated it well,But one day the dog dug where the flowers fell.Upset at first, her garden in disarray,But there in the soil, gold coins did lay.[Pre-Chorus]The neighbor''s eyes gleamed with greed and deceit,He took the dog, but found only mud and defeat.In sorrow, the widow laid her friend to rest,Under the cherry, where dreams are blessed.[Chorus]The dog appeared to her that night in a vision,Thanking her for her kindness and provision.''All will be right, honor my memory,'' it said,And the widow followed to where the dream had led.[Verse]From cherry twigs, she wove a basket tight,Gathered flowers within, blooming bright.Overnight, the blossoms turned to gold once more,A gentle reminder of what kindness is for.[Pre-Chorus]The neighbor''s heart was dark as he took the basket away,But flowers turned to slime, and in anger, he set it ablaze.The widow returned home with ashes in hand,Her heart heavy, struggling to understand.[Chorus]The dog appeared to her that night in a vision,Thanking her for her kindness and provision.''All will be right, honor my memory,'' it said,And the widow followed to where the dream had led.[Verse]She spread the ash on her orchard ground,And overnight, cherry trees bloomed all around.People came from near and far to see,The miracle of what came to be.[Pre-Chorus]The neighbor, in jealousy, tried to burn it all,But visitors stopped him, saw his downfall.Banished and alone, he faced his deeds,While the widow''s orchard met all needs.[Outro Chorus]The old widow lived her days in bloom''s embrace,Never alone, with visitors to her peaceful place.The dog came to her dreams each night,And in its memory, everything was all right.
