[Verse 1] She curls up on my pillow Little shadow on the sheet People see the color Miss the heartbeat at her feet Tiny paws on my chest Like she’s guarding every dream They call her bad luck But they don’t know what she means [Chorus] My black cat honey Sugar in her eyes All that velvet midnight Hiding something bright They say she’s trouble They’ve got it all wrong She’s the softest secret I’ve ever held this long My black cat honey Sweet as any song [Verse 2] She blinks slow in the doorway Like she’s saying “I am home” Chases every worry Down the hallway, gone They whisper old stories Like they know what she’s about But they never felt her whiskers Kiss a tired tear out [Chorus] My black cat honey Sugar in her eyes All that velvet midnight Hiding something bright They say she’s trouble They’ve got it all wrong She’s the softest secret I’ve ever held this long My black cat honey Sweet as any song [Bridge] If you’d just reach out a hand You’d feel the warmth, you’d understand (oh oh) She’s not a sign of something bad She’s just love in a darker wrap [Chorus] My black cat honey Sugar in her eyes All that velvet midnight Hiding something bright They say she’s trouble They’ve got it all wrong She’s the softest secret I’ve ever held this long My black cat honey Sweet as any song
