The best Quotes from Cats

Daylight, I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I mustn't give in

And a new day will begin

I can smile at the old days
I was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again

Are you keen to be seen when you're smelling a rat?
Were you there when the pharaoh commissioned the Sphinx?
If you were, and you are, you're a jellicle cat

Turn my head with talk of summertime
Say you need me with you now and always
Promise me that all you say is true
That's all I ask of you
