By Your Side

~ By your Side ~ Keep me close by your side when the north winds howl I'll snuggle tight in your lap through the night hours' chill Those who call me a 'creature' will soon run afoul Of a cry deep inside me relentlessly shrill You're exhausted, you're drained, from work's mud and mire Fall asleep now, my love, it's almost midnight -- Once fair morning will dawn, good cheer will retire Yon wild witches on broomsticks, who shriek out affright... In the day we will play, you and I by your side Safe and sound in sun's rays, we'll stroll o'er the land Roam the fields, feel the breeze, see the ocean, her tides Have a picnic for two on a blanket of sand Yes, I'm your kitten, your baby, who loves you so much ~ Ever thrills to your delicate fingers' fond touch
