lyrics

I came to visit you and say a new hello
I know you're wondering, "Where did my kitty go?"
I felt a bit too weak to play
The grownups knew I couldn't stay
Your father carried me away
I crossed that rainbow bridge that very day

And now I'm here with almost all my favorite things
So many scratching posts and tasty chicken wings
It's endless fun in this new place
So many lasers I can chase
The pain is gone without a trace
But I still want to nuzzle your sweet face

Even though I really miss you
I can meet you in your dreams
And maybe then you'll know what happened
Ain't as bad as it may seem
And when your parents hear you meowing
In your sleep, maybe they'll know
That I'm feeling so much better
And they were right to let me go

Even though you're still a baby
And you may not know what it means
We can still get into mischief
Even when it's in our dreams
And when your parents see you smiling
In your sleep, maybe they'll know
That I'm feeling so much better
And they were right to let me go
I'm in a better place, but I still miss your face

I'm a 41-year-old Black dad who likes Prince and Guided by Voices a lot, so I try to make music that splits the difference. I play and sing everything most of the time, but my friends Alan and Stephen help me out sometimes. Please check my stuff out and say hello! ... more
