"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. |
