By the morning window, shoulders curled in tight When I call your name, you lift your eyes to mine At the tip of my fingers, you softly slip away But your face is saying you want to always stay Act like you do not know, then you drift my way I can almost read your eyes, then the words escape If I hold my breath now, I might touch your soul Let it stay our secret, hidden in the glow Just like a little kitten, like a little kitten You come close to me, it is unfair how you do Just like a little kitten, like a little kitten You pretend to leave, then run back into view Dreams left in the corner of the old soft couch After one small yawn, you flash a quiet smile You pretend you are tough, then you melt on me I adore the clumsy way you set me free With that baby face on, you drift back my way I can almost read your eyes, then the words give way You are gentle to a fault, I could melt inside Let it stay our secret, wrapped in midnight light Just like a little kitten, like a little kitten You come close to me, it is unfair how you do Just like a little kitten, like a little kitten You pretend to leave, then run back into view Hiding all your claws as though in soft warm sleep Show a little piece of where your true thoughts keep Call my name once more and I will run to you In your gentle warmth, all my knots unspool Just like a little kitten, like a little kitten You come close to me, it is unfair how you do Just like a little kitten, like a little kitten You pretend to leave, then run back into view Just like a little kitten, like a little kitten For tonight at least, hold me close to you (little kitten)
