about

Anyone who's ever loved a pet will know how heartbreaking it is to lose them. We had the privilege of sharing our lives with a beautiful black cat called Millie for over 18 years. We lost her on 16 January 2024 when she was 20 years old. This song is a celebration of her life and reflects the sadness of saying goodbye. I'd love to know what you think.

lyrics

Did you see what I just saw
Prettiest face outside the door
Gentle purity of your soul
Letting you inside from the cold
Knowing from that moment on
Love would bind us make us strong
Our beautiful girl, fun and laughter
In my heart always after
Close companion through the years
Golden eyes and velveteen ears

Light the candle when it’s time
For good friends to say goodbye
Empathy from silent strangers
Falling tears, tired faces
Healing hugs, healing kisses
Healing vibes, healing wishes
Soul to soul, hand to paw
How sad to be the one
They light the candle for

Younger days we played outside
Fast as lightning, eyes so wide
Feisty as the day was long
Put in our place when we went wrong
Scratches on our hands and doors
Still my heart’s forever yours
The years revealed a softer soul
Together we are growing old
Routine check that showed the news
I can’t, I won’t believe that it’s true

Light the candle when it’s time
For good friends to say goodbye
Empathy from silent strangers
Falling tears, tired faces
Healing hugs, healing kisses
Healing vibes, healing wishes
Soul to soul, hand to paw
I don't wanna be the one
They light the candle for

They told us weeks
I don’t believe it
Time it speaks
I can’t conceive it
Now you’re sleeping by my side
You can’t see the tears I cry
Don’t light the light of sad regret
My love for you’s not done just yet

Light the candle now it’s time
For good friends to say …

Light the candle when it’s time
For good friends to say goodbye
Empathy from silent strangers
Falling tears, tired faces
Farewell hugs, soft the kisses
Farewell love, rainbow wishes
Soul to soul, hand to paw
I don’t wanna be the one
They light the candle for

Angie Kuske UK

I'm a Singer-Songwriter based in Kent, UK. I started writing lyrics in the early 90s until work took over. I gradually taught myself how to use Garageband and now create all my songs from start to finish. I write unique, catchy pop songs with an 80s influence. I believe my lyrics have meaning and imagery which I hope people can relate to. Music links: linktr.ee/AngieKuskeMusic ... more
