Willow

Intro - piano, acoustic guitar

Verse 1

She came to me a little thing, with mischief in her eyes,

A black tabby queen with a gentle surprise.

She chased the moths and butterflies, in sunbeams she would lie,

And chatter at the little birds, beneath the open sky.

She climbed the trees with fearless grace, a toy fish in her paw,

Then batted ping pong balls with glee, and always asked for more.

So full of spirit, wild and free, yet soft beyond compare,

A loving heart, a caring soul, a gentle paw to share.

Chorus

Oh, Willow, my sweet Willow, my soul cat through and through,

Nineteen years of endless love, shared only with you.

I miss your purr upon my lap, your forehead bump, your sweet miaow,

A gentle presence, dearly loved, I yearn for you right now.

Verse 2

Each day would bring a special time, a moment pure and deep,

When you would come to cuddle close, secrets for us to keep.

Upon my lap, a kneading paw, a loving, soft embrace,

You’d make your dough, a tender sign, in that familiar place.

Your quiet wisdom in your gaze, a comfort ever true,

My heart would swell with grateful joy, just sitting there with you.

No other bond could ever feel so precious and so rare,

A silent language understood, beyond all earthly care.

Chorus

Oh, Willow, my sweet Willow, my soul cat through and through,

Nineteen years of endless love, shared only with you.

I miss your purr upon my lap, your forehead bump, your sweet miaow,

A gentle presence, dearly loved, I yearn for you right now.

Bridge

I've loved you all your life, my dear, a truth that will remain,

I'll miss you for the rest of mine, through sunshine and through rain.

But I will find you once again, my precious, sweet girl, wait for me,

Across the stars, beyond this world, for all eternity.

Instrumental - cello, piano

Final Chorus

Oh, Willow, my sweet Willow, my soul cat through and through,

Nineteen years of endless love, shared only with you.

I miss your purr upon my lap, your forehead bump, your sweet miaow,

A gentle presence, dearly loved, I yearn for you right now.

Outro

You're sunning now in heaven's light, where grace and comfort bloom,

Watching over us each day, dispelling every gloom.

Your spirit here, in every sign, a whisper in the air,

My sweet Willow, safe at peace, beyond all earthly care.

Outro - piano fade
