I know my cat's an angel
For she watches over me
Slyly, when her eyes seem shut
At night, when I can't see

I know my cat's an angel
For her ears protect my sleep
A Creak, a squeak, a footfall
At any noise she'll leap

I know my cat's an angel
For she curls up at my side
A warning to intruders
That it's best to run and hide

I know my cat's an angel
For although she hasn't wings
I'm safe and warm beside her
Wrapped in all the love she brings
