*(Verse 1)* Rufus was a mighty cat, with eyes of emerald green, A hunter in the moonlight, the king of every scene. His days were filled with sunshine, his nights were wild and free, But now the clouds are darker, and he’s not who he used to be. *(Pre-Chorus)* He stares into the shadows, as if they hold a clue, Chasing ghosts of memories, of a life he once knew. *(Chorus)* Oh, Rufus, dear Rufus, where did the time go? You wander through the echoes of a world you used to know. But even when the path is dim, and your mind's a restless sea, You’ll always have a home right here, with love and memory. *(Verse 2)* He forgets the little places where he used to hide his toys, The comforts of the kitchen, and the sound of his own voice. He startles at his shadow, he paces through the night, A brave and gentle warrior now lost within the fight. *(Pre-Chorus)* But when the sunlight warms his fur, he finds a moment’s peace, In the garden of the present, where all his worries cease. *(Chorus)* Oh, Rufus, dear Rufus, where did the time go? You wander through the echoes of a world you used to know. But even when the path is dim, and your mind's a restless sea, You’ll always have a home right here, with love and memory. *(Bridge)* We’ll hold you through the hard days, we’ll guide you through the haze, The purrs and gentle touches, the soft and quiet ways. Though time may take your stories, it can’t take you from me, For love is more than memory; it’s eternity. *(Chorus)* Oh, Rufus, dear Rufus, we’ll never let you go, Even in the shadows of the world you used to know. And when the night feels endless, and your heart longs to be free, Know you’ll always have a home right here, with love and memory. *(Outro)* Rufus was a mighty cat, and mighty he’ll remain, Through every fleeting moment, through joy and even pain. For in our hearts you linger, no matter where you roam, Rufus, you are loved, and this will always be your home.
