• I cry and cry and cry
    Why
    Did he have to go?
    I know
    I'll see him when I pass away
    I'll set him on my lap
    And stroke his soft fur

    But Still I cry
    My heart pounds
    And my face is hot
    As a burning flame

    I remember
    He used to crawl on my pillow
    Above my head
    And sleep there
    All night long
    I cry some more

    I remember
    He used to scratch on the screen door
    I'd let him in
    And he'd rub on my legs
    And deeply purr
    I cry

    Three years
    He's not here
    I cry
    Then
    I put my head on my pillow
    Cry to sleep
    And see him
    In my dreams

    But the pain
    Will always hide
    In the black corner of my heart
    He'll be there
    Always
    I cry
    The tears from my heart
