Almond eyes
Beaming through the crowd like piercing bright blue lights
A glow like angels, girl, you had me hypnotized
I could never look away
And our first kiss
Something changed this foolish kid into a man
Things I'd prayed for my whole life, now all make sense
This is what I was made for
If only time could slow down
I wish that time would slow down
Almond eyes
Our boys look just like you when you make them smile
We prayed for wild boys, and boy, did we get wild
But I would never change a thing, yeah
Except that time could slow down
I wish that time would slow down
'Cause why does time keep on giving?
But time keeps on ripping me apart, oh
I've learned to cherish every moment
'Cause moments don't slow down to please the heart
That's what makes it hard
Almond eyes
The last the thing that I pray to see before I die
Until we meet again in paradise
I'll never have to look away
'Cause that's when time will slow down
Finally, time will slow down
