Cats - lyrics


The cats are on the window sill
They stare at the birds until
The sun goes down and they all fly away
You hold me tight in the dark of night
You ask me if I think we might
Have more than cats share our home some day

I tell you that I love each cat
And I see where you’re going with that
But are we really ready for that day
I don’t want to fight in the dark of night
So I answer that I think we might
But a kid is more than caring for a stray

There’s the crying and the diaper changes
Sleepless nights that rearranges
Every aspect of our lives today
There’ll be a college account of no small amount
Life insurance and the bills will mount
Do we really want to change our lives that way?

Just then the cats jump into the bed
Almost as if they know what we said
Their eyes glow green before they close them for the night
I find your lips for a goodnight kiss
There’s more to life that I don’t want to miss
I hold you tight because I know we’ll to be all right
