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,
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,
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,
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 eight now, a hundred and fifty-three,
Listen how fast my little girl's heart beats when she sees me,
Listen how fast my Emily's heart beats when she sees me,
Listen how fast my little girl's heart beats when she sees me,
When she sees me.
