When you come around the house feels new
The old clock ticks like it's brand new
To my tired feet forget to slow down
You light up my world just by coming around
When you come around my smile can't hide
It's like sunshine walks right inside
You're my laughter my joy my favorite sound
Life feels young again
When you come around
You drop your bag and kick off your shoes
Climb in my lap like you used to do
You tell me stories with so much flare
And leave cookie crumbs on the rocking chair
We don't need plants or fancy things
You bring the joy that money can't bring
A giggle a hug that's all I need
To feel like I'm finally free
When you come around
You ask why my hands are wrinkled and thin
I say they've held a lifetime within
But holding you beats all the rest
Your tiny hug feels heaven blessed
You don't see age you just see me
And I feel as young as I used to be
You make this whole world spin around
My heart comes alive when you come around
Someday you'll grow and chase the sky
But I'll be here cheering high
And every hug every kiss goodnight
Stays in my soul holding tight
When you come around
I don't feel old
I just feel rich in love untold
You make the quiet feel so proud
You make the silence sing out loud
When you come around I'm whole I'm found
No greater gift than that sweet sound
You're my joy my peace my safe hometown
Life is good again
When you come around
