• Ever since that fateful day,
    October 23rd;
    The day I lost a precious friend
    Of whom I’ve always heard.

    I lost my one and only cat,
    Who’d lie upon my bed;
    But on the day he had to go
    I went up to him and said:

    “I’ll always miss you when you leave,
    This is for your own care;
    I’d hate to have you leave so soon.
    But I’ll see you everywhere.”

    Ever since the day he left,
    My friend was gone for sure;
    And though his picture’s on my wall,
    My sorrow had no cure.

    But on this day, I can look back,
    And remember all the fun
    I used to have with my cat Taz,
    My feline, and only one.

    Ever since that fateful day,
    October 23rd;
    The day I lost a precious friend
    Of whom I’ve always heard.
