A Cat's Last Request
(Silent Night, Holy Night)
Silent Night, Lonely Night
How I wished
You'd witnessed my birth
Whispered "Welcome"
My first night on Earth
Stayed with me
Thru the dark night
Until the morning light.
Silent Night Lonely Night
Oh! I loved you as I grew
And I know you so loved me too
Kept me safe and warm
Thru life's fearful storms.
Silent Night Lonely Night
Now it's time
For me to go
Stay with me
My last night on Earth
Help me thru my second birth
To my Heavenly home
Mother don't leave me alone.
Silent Night Lonely Night
Soon I draw
My last breath
Hold my paw
And speak to me
'Till my eyes no longer see
My soul flies over yon ridge
To the Rainbow Bridge.
Goodbye...
