the little black cat

And the time came For the little black cat To step into the night Where she found stars shining brightly The moon in her silver splendor Hanging on the dark velvet of the sky Like a precious jewel She wandered down the street And thought of the stories Hiding behind closed doors Saw dreams floating like a mist Over the city Even the flowers were sleeping Like shadows in the silent gardens Where are you going little black cat? The wind whispered I am off to see the world Around the corner Over the bridge The world is big and far away Answered the wind I will come with you Yes of course answered the cat But haven’t you seen the world many times That I have little friend And I have many stories to tell of what I saw To share with you As we go on our way
