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
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
