My Kitty Joseph

Intro - acoustic guitar, harmonica

Verse 1

The day we met, my heart just knew

A traveler's soul, gentle and true

You’d watch the birds, a silent, keen gaze

And chipmunks too, through sunlit haze.

Always ready to go along,

Your little purr, a happy song.

Sweetest kitty, a friend so dear,

Willing to journey, banishing fear.

Chorus

Oh, My Kitty Joseph, my sweet and gentle friend,

Nine sweet years, right to the very end.

You taught me love, pure and always bright,

Shining for me, morning, noon, and night.

Verse 2

When bedtime came, you'd find your space,

A warm soft spot, with sleepy grace.

Curled up beside me, a comforting sight,

Bringing peace to the ending of day and night.

Your quiet presence, a calming art,

A little shadow, right near my heart.

Always there, a gentle guide,

Always by my side.

Chorus

Oh, My Kitty Joseph, my sweet and gentle friend,

Nine sweet years, right to the very end.

You taught me love, pure and always bright,

Shining for me, morning, noon, and night.

Verse 3

Your gentle purr, a constant sound,

The sweetest comfort to be found.

A soft head nudge, a loving plea,

Your quiet presence blessing me.

Through waking hours, calm and bright,

You filled my world with pure delight.

A simple joy, a spirit kind,

The truest love my heart could find.

Bridge

My heart is breaking, I miss you so much,

Longing still for your soft, familiar touch.

I love you, Joseph, that truth will remain,

Whispered softly, through joy and through pain.

Mandolin Solo

Final Chorus

Oh, My Kitty Joseph, my sweet and gentle friend,

Nine sweet years, right to the very end.

You taught me love, pure and always bright,

Shining for me, morning, noon, and night.

Outro

Now on the porch, where sunbeams play,

Chasing little lizards, throughout the day.

Forever free, in sunlit grace,

A joyful spirit, in that peaceful place.

Outro - guitar fade
