Would you care for me, as I care for my cat ?
Oh, I know she is treacherous
and her thoughts go no higher
Than mice and milk
and a place by my fire;
She is getting old and fat.
But when I sit alone in my evening chair,
I stroke her fur
I like to know she is there
and to hear her purr.
Of course, you could not care for me
Like that !
I can not purr as flatteringly
as a cat.
You're always on my mind
Each and Every day
Even though you are so far away
I wish you was here
I wish you could stay
I wish I could hear your voice just for a day
But you are still so far away
and all I can do is pray
So as I take it day by day
all I can wish for is for you to be home safe someday
