Dear, my Midnight

[Intro] We first met on a winter night Snow was near, and stars were shy You were trembling in a cardboard box Tiny eyes trying to find the sky [Verse 1] You were small, like a brother I’d never known I picked you up and brought you home Sha-la-la, a brand new world Climbing curtains, chasing light [Pre-Chorus] Mom would scold, and Dad would laugh I held a feather, you'd dash and dash Black as midnight, full of grace They called you unlucky — what a mistake [Chorus] Your little body, warm and light Made the cold bed feel just right Even when the nights grew long You were there, and I felt strong La-la-la... [Bridge] Time went by like drops on glass Moments gone, too soft, too fast When I left, you watched me go Said so much, but spoke so low [Verse 2] Spitting seeds on summer days You poked the yam but walked away I won’t forget, not any part You’re the memory in my heart [Pre-Chorus] Mom was crying, Dad did too I held you close and whispered through "No one calls you unlucky now You're my black cat, take a bow" [Chorus – Final] Your little body, warm and light Made the cold bed feel just right Even when the world was wrong You were there, and I stayed strong La-la... La-la... La-la...
