Her little nose twitches away
While the music starts to play
She sits quietly and listens to the family say
Wiggy, what’d you wanna eat?
A grape or banana for a treat?
So lets go outside, but stay right here....stay right here
I wish you both hadn’t gone away
I wish you both were here today
‘cause I miss you, I miss you
I met you both on Xmas day
Cosy and warm but hidden away
On a winters day.....a winters day....a winters day
There’s so many places I’ve been
But I’d rather be here with you
I remember how you cuddled and played
Out in the garden, skippin’ away
Waiting for the sun but hiding from the pouring rain
There was a time, a friend said hello
Orlando the cat, but Wiggy said NO!!!
You up and scurried away
Under a dress, the rest of the day!
There’s so many places I’ve been
Cuba, Japan.....Portugal, by the beach
I’d still rather be here with you
There’s so many lost souls, in the world tonight
But it’s just how it feels, when the world isn’t right
So play that old love song for anyone listening
So now you’re gone, the sky lights up, a new bright star
You’ll always show me where you are
Xmas is coming ‘round again
The first without my dearest friend
But I’ll still play those Xmas songs for you
So hey there, Wiggy, twitchin’ your nose
My gift to you a bright red rose
But hey, wherever you are
You’re my twinkling star
You got love in your heart
So dream big from the start
When the thing you want is so far
So it’s up to you.........what would you say?
It’s a living thing
It’s a breathing thing
You’re the only one to make you strong enough, to take the arrow’s wounds
