Redgee

Intro

Piano, cello

Verse 1

The first light of morning, a soft gentle nudge

A red tabby shadow, no reason to begrudge

Your eyes on my face, a silent, sweet plea

Then a paw on my cheek, just for you and for me

For breakfast was calling, a hunger so deep

While I tried so hard, just a bit longer to sleep.

Chorus

Oh, Redgee, my dear, through nineteen long years

You banished my worries and dried all my tears

A love so profound, a bond truly bright

My beautiful cat, my morning, my night.

Verse 2

Then came the day, you'd jump on the board

My keyboard became your own soft, warm reward

You’d lay there so calm, with a knowing, warm gaze

As if to say "I'm here," through all of life's maze

A furry companion, so clever and smart

Always knew how to capture my heart.

Chorus

Oh, Redgee, my dear, through nineteen long years

You banished my worries and dried all my tears

A love so profound, a bond truly bright

My beautiful cat, my morning, my night.

Bridge

Now the quiet descends, and the memories grow

A whisper escapes, soft and gentle and low

"I love you, my Monkey Girl," forever it rings

The joy that you brought, on beautiful wings.

Instrumental

Piano, strings

Final Chorus

Oh, Redgee, my dear, through nineteen long years

You banished my worries and dried all my tears

A love so profound, a bond truly bright

My beautiful cat, my morning, my night.

Outro

I know you are running, so graceful and free

Released from all burdens, for eternity

But I feel you are watching, a guardian so true

My heart is still healing, still grieving for you.

Outro - piano fade
