"Right Here With You Right Now" by Kalika Fortin

Freckles lay across your cheeks
Pink-shadowed eyelids blanket blue eyes underneath
I could sit and watch you sleep
'til the love overwhelms me 
And my heart begins to ache
'cause the days, they just keep slipping away
Just like your fingers used to reach for me 
Now they slowly pull away. 
I know you think that you don't need me
to help you cross the street
but baby, if you'll let me 
I could sing you back to sleep. 

I just want to be right here with you right now
Time could freeze
I just want to be right here with you right now
We just breathe.

You'll still let me kiss your cheeks
as long as no friends can see
You'll still climb up in my lap 
but you'll soon be as big as me
I used to hold you here for hours
with your chin resting on my shoulder
but the time you spend in my arms
seems to lessen as you grow older
And I know that you won't need me 
to always hold your hand
but baby, I still need to 
Can you try to understand?

I just want to be right here with you right now
Time could freeze
I just want to be right here with you right now
We just breathe.
