Ani

She comes down the stairs half asleep
Always leaving the lights on
She walks around barefoot in the dead of winter
And gets scared at night when the thunder rolls.

Changes her mind every single moment
And writes in her diary all her thoughts
She looks in the mirror more, still just a kid
She knows she’s the best part of my life.

If I had the power to stop time
I wouldn’t know how to pick the best moment.

Not just her body is changing
In an instant, she goes from laughter to tears
She’s got so much of me, like I have of her
She looks like my photos from the seventies.

If I had the power to stop time
I wouldn’t know how to pick the best moment.

She can’t hide her feelings
And all her promises are carried away by the wind
She leaves signs wherever she goes
Leading me back home.

If I had the power to stop time
I wouldn’t know how to pick the best moment.

The best part of my life... is coming home.
