Baby you've been lovely
Always fun and hungry
We watched the days drift away
For 6 months we've been breathin'
The air around and dreamin'
Oh, what a wonderful time
Until this very mornin'
I thought that you were rollin'
And there were years to be had
But just in a few hours
You've lost your superpowers
And now you're helplessly frail
And I feel, that you're dyin'
And the only thing that's keepin' you from tryin'
Is this love
And I know, You'll be gone
Before the gentle break of dawn
Little child
Carry on..
Remember when I found you
I reached out and you meowed too
And hurried into my arms
Long whiskers on your face with
Eyes piercing through the place yeah
You saw straight into my soul
And even though you looked sad
Your beauty shone beyond that
And I knew what to do
I took you home and fed you
The doctor yeah, he praised you:
Oh, what a wonderful breed!
And I feel, that you're tryin'
And the only thing that's keepin' you from dyin'
Is this love
And I know, You'll be gone
Before the gentle break of dawn
Little child
Carry on..
I called you Stracciatella,
Based upon your colour,
The shades of white and cloud grey
No teeth, no hearing baby
A kidney that had failed, gee,
Your life had had to be hard
And now that you're in pain I
Have to find a way child
To help you come to a rest
Soon it will be over
Pretty four-leaf clover
And I'll be right by your side
Cause I feel, that you're dyin'
And the only thing that's keepin' you from tryin'
Is this love
And I know, You'll be gone
Before the gentle break of dawn
Little child
Carry on...
