My little girl wanted a white cat to love
And dear god sent you all the way from above
You came to her bravely
Small and so bright
You grew up so quickly
Almost overnight
You loved to explore the grass and the trees
While that little girl loved you
Down on her knees
That little girl grew
Along with her pet
Always thanking the lord
For that day that you met
Sometimes when sad
She'd lay in her bed
And you'd always be there
To nessle her head
Then that day came
When you returned to above
Leaving that girl with
The true meaning of love.
