When She Sees Me

I’ll wait outside a moment
You watch the clock on the wall
Listen closely, I’ll say when
Sing «London Bridge is Falling»
No change at all
Now could the beats when I come in Listen how fast my little girl’s heart beats
When she sees me Listen how fast my little girl’s heart beats
When she sees me She never minds the weather
She likes the flashes of light
I say, «Love, beware black skies»
She’s not afraid of winter
Or thunderous nights
She follows rainbows in my eyes
Listen how fast my little girl’s heart beats
When she sees me Listen how fast my little girl’s heart beats
When she sees me The minute hand on the seven
Second hand on the three
Listen how fast my little girl’s heart beats
We hold each other so close
We dance around and around
She likes the music that I play
She wants to bust out laughing
She’s learning how
She wonders if I’m home to stay
Listen how fast my little girl’s heart beats
When she sees me The minute hand on the eight now
A hundred and fifty-three
Listen how fast my little girl’s heart beats
When she sees me
