Tilly 's Story
Tilly, the charming tuxedo cat, had a discerning palate, always eager for her treats or a taste of whatever you were having, though she preferred affection on her own terms. Her greatest comfort came from quiet companionship, like settling beside you during evenings or faithfully spending every night at the foot of the bed. We imagine her now, peacefully nestled under her favorite garden bush, perhaps still "talking" to the birds she loved to watch.

Lyrics
Intro - piano, pads
Verse 1
From the moment you arrived, a tiny, hungry cry,
A tuxedo flash of black and white beneath a watchful eye.
You'd beg for every morsel, a connoisseur of treats,
And demand a gentle petting, only on your own terms, sweet.
You never liked to be held, a spirit free and bold,
A quiet, graceful presence, a story to unfold.
Our little furry shadow, always close at hand,
The dearest, sweetest feline in all of the land.
Chorus
Oh, Tilly, our dear Tilly, how the moments fly,
Eleven years and eight months, beneath the endless sky.
A love so pure and steady, a bond that will remain,
We whisper your sweet name, and ease away the pain.
Verse 2
As evening softly settled, and the day began to cease,
You'd curl up close beside me, bringing silent peace.
Not needing any fussing, just knowing I was near,
A quiet, trusted comfort, dispelling every fear.
Then to the foot of my bed, you'd journey through the night,
A steady, sleeping presence, a comforting, warm light.
Your purrs a gentle rhythm, a melody so low,
A silent understanding, how deep our love did grow.
Chorus
Oh, Tilly, our dear Tilly, how the moments fly,
Eleven years and eight months, beneath the endless sky.
A love so pure and steady, a bond that will remain,
We whisper your sweet name, and ease away the pain.
Bridge
We wish you endless sunshine, and fields of green to roam,
And know that we love you always, you'll always be our home.
We hope you're still enjoying your favorite treats and play,
Remembered in our hearts, each and every day.
Instrumental - piano, acoustic guitar
Final Chorus
Oh, Tilly, our dear Tilly, how the moments fly,
Eleven years and eight months, beneath the endless sky.
A love so pure and steady, a bond that will remain,
We whisper your sweet name, and ease away the pain.
Outro
Now under your favorite bush, in the garden's gentle light,
Or watching birds with wisdom, a peaceful, lovely sight.
Perhaps you softly chat with them, in ways we understand,
Our sweet Tilly, forever loved, across the timeless sand.
Outro - piano fade
