Story behind the song
In loving memory of our cat Mr. Puddles (Puddy). Thank you Mr. Tranmer for the use of your beautiful poem -
Lyrics
You lived your nine lives here with me
My loyal, loving friend,
Then God took you up to Paradise
To live life number ten.
I'll bet you're peacefully lying
Upon an angel's lap.
Purring there, without a care,
Having a heavenly nap.
I'll miss you for a little while,
But our friendship will not end.
Time will pass, and then at last
You'll be on my lap again.
