Lyrics

Verse 1]
Met her at the break of day,
The nurse said, “Sir, she’s on her way”
I dropped my coffee, missed a call,
Then I saw her – she was small, but she was all

⸻

[Verse 2]
The clock read eleven twenty-five,
And man, I’d never felt so alive
Little hands, a mighty scream
I swear the world slowed down for me

⸻

[Chorus – with sax & backing vocals]
🎶 11:25! That’s the time she showed
With a fist in the air and a face that glowed
I wasn’t ready, but now I believe
Life ain’t the same since that morning to me
Oh yeah – 11:25! 🎷

⸻

[Verse 3]
Her mama smiled, a little dazed
Said, “Look at us, we made a blaze”
The doc just nodded, wiped his brow
And I just laughed like, “What do I do now?”

⸻

[Chorus – with call & response]
🎶 11:25! That’s the time it hit
Like a freight train heart with a perfect fit
One little cry, and I knew she was mine
Changed every gear in this old dad’s mind
Woah-oh – 11:25!

(BACKING CHOIR):
“She came alive at 11:25…”

⸻

[Bridge – classic rock riff under monologue style vocals]
Now I tell the boys down at the bar,
“Forget fast cars and last guitars —
You wanna feel like you touched the stars?
Hold your daughter in your arms.”

⸻

[Final Chorus – big band feel, sax & all]
🎶 11:25! That’s her story’s start
Tattooed the time right into my heart
A little wild, a little wise
She got that fire behind her eyes
Yeah man – 11:25!
She lit up my life 🎷🎸

⸻

[Outro – spoken with guitar fading]
Born on a Sunday… June twenty-ninth
At eleven twenty-five
That’s when I met my reason.
