Zara

Intro - acoustic guitar

Verse 1

A little shadow, soft and quick,

You came into my life to stick.

With Siamese charm, a purring sound,

The sweetest thief I ever found.

My heart you stole with every glance,

And snacks you'd take, given the chance.

A quiet presence, always near,

Chasing away every fear.

Chorus

Oh, Zara, my sweet shadow, dear,

For twelve precious years, you brightened here.

A love so pure, a bond so true,

My world was better, just with you.

Verse 2

When I'd come home, you'd be right there,

A happy greeting beyond compare.

You'd tell me stories, loud and clear,

Each 'meow' a joy for me to hear.

Then settle down, a cozy sight,

Making biscuits, day and night.

Your gentle paws, a rhythmic hum,

A comfort when my day was done.

Chorus

Oh, Zara, my sweet shadow, dear,

For twelve precious years, you brightened here.

A love so pure, a bond so true,

My world was better, just with you.

Bridge

You stole my heart at the first meow,

And hold a piece of it right now.

A love that will be mine forever,

We will snuggle again, my sweet girl, together.

Harmonica Solo

Final Chorus

Oh, Zara, my sweet shadow, dear,

For twelve precious years, you brightened here.

A love so pure, a bond so true,

My world was better, just with you.

Outro

Now on a blanket, soft and deep,

Curled up in dreams, you gently sleep.

Still making biscuits, peaceful, warm,

Safe from every earthly storm.

Outro - guitar fade
