If you rescue me
I'll be your friend forever
Let me in your bed
I'll keep you warm in winter
All the kiddies are playing
And they're having such fun
I wish it could happen to me
But if you rescue me
I'll never have to be alone again
Oh the cars drive so fast
And the people are mean
And sometimes it's hard to find food
Let me into your room
I'll keep you warm and amused
All the things we can do in the rain
If you rescue me
I'll be your friend forever
Let me in your bed
I'll keep you warm in winter
Oh someday I know
Someone will look into my eyes
And say "Hello, you're a very special kitten"
So if you rescue me
I'll never have to be alone again

After Hours
If you close the door
The night could last forever
Leave the sunshine out
And say hello to never
All the people are dancing
And theyre having such fun
I wish it could happen to me
But if you close the door
Id never have to see the day again
If you close the door
The night could last forever
Leave the wine-glass out
And drink a toast to never
Oh, someday I know
Someone will look into my eyes
And say hello
Youre my very special one
But if you close the door
Id never have to see the day again
Dark party bars, shiny cadillac cars
And the people on subways and trains
Looking gray in the rain, as they stand disarrayed
Oh, but people look well in the dark
And if you close the door
The night could last forever
Leave the sunshine out
And say hello to never
All the people are dancing
And theyre having such fun
I wish it could happen to me
Cause if you close the door
Id never have to see the day again
Id never have to see the day again, once more
Id never have to see the day again
