Aching For My Charlie Cat


Oh, how my aching heart still pines for you-
   as many years without you, have now gone.
      A perfect friend you were, devout and true-
that love I always could depend upon.

As many years without you, have now gone,
   I feel your love is still within my heart.
      That love I always could depend upon-
it lingers as an ache when feelings start. 

I feel your love is still within my heart,
   although I cannot hold you anymore,
      it lingers as an ache when feelings start-
the absence of the sight of you- deplore.

Although I cannot hold you anymore,
   a perfect friend you were, devout and true-
      the absence of the sight of you- deplore.
Oh, how my aching heart still pines for you.
