HOW STRANGE IT SEEMS
HOW STRANGE IT SEEMS
WITH NO CAT FOOD TO BUY,
SINCE TIGER HAS LEFT ME
AND I STILL WONDER WHY..
AFTER 22 YEARS,
HOW MY LIFESTYLE HAD CHANGED..
NOW THE PLACE WHERE HIS BED WAS,
HAS BEEN REARRANGED...
HOW STRANGE IT SEEMS,
NOT TO HAVE HIM TO HOLD..
TO HEAR HIM PURR SOFTLY,
OR PROTECT FROM THE COLD..
IN A BLANKET I'D WRAP HIM,
ALL COZY AND WARM..
FOR 22 YEARS,
I KEPT HIM FROM HARM..
HOW STRANGE IT SEEMS,
AS I GO ABOUT MY DAYS..
REMEMBERING HIM,
AND HIS CRAZY CAT WAYS..
I HAVE MEMORIES OF HIM,
ALL TUCKED IN HIS BED..
WITH HIS MOTOR BOAT RUNNING,
AND HIS PAWS ON HIS HEAD..
AS YOU WENT IN THE KITCHEN,
HE WAS ALWAYS RIGHT THERE..
WHEN YOU SET DOWN HIS FOOD BOWL,
HE'D JUST GIVE YOU THAT STARE..
SO YOU'D TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT
AND HE'D JUST WALK AWAY,
THIS WAS HIS WAY OF STARTING MY DAY..
HOW STRANGE IT SEEMS NOW,
THAT HE'S GONE ON ABOVE,
BUT I'M THANKFUL FOR MEMORIES,
AND THE 22 YEARS OF LOVE...
