Mia in My Arms

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Tiny shoes by the door Crayon marks on the floor You call my name like a song And the whole room comes along Hair still wild from the nap Little hands on my lap You lean in, soft and brave Like you know I’m here to stay [Pre-Chorus] And I keep count of your steps In the hallway, in the grass Every hour, every laugh Gone too fast, gone too fast [Chorus] Mia, Mia, stay near me Mia, my little bright thing Mia, Mia, you’re my morning You make this old heart sing Mia, Mia, stay near me Mia, your name is my warm light Mia, Mia, you’re my reason You turn my dark to bright [Verse 2] Sticky hands, apple juice Bent-up bow on your shoes You ask why the sky turns gray Then you grin and run away I save scraps of your art In a drawer, in my heart Stick figures, suns, and rain Proof you changed me again [Pre-Chorus] And I keep count of your steps In the hallway, in the grass Every hour, every laugh Gone too fast, gone too fast [Chorus] Mia, Mia, stay near me Mia, my little bright thing Mia, Mia, you’re my morning You make this old heart sing Mia, Mia, stay near me Mia, your name is my warm light Mia, Mia, you’re my reason You turn my dark to bright [Bridge] If the world gets loud someday If the clouds crowd up your way Know my arms will still be home Know you never walk alone [Final Chorus] Mia, Mia, stay near me Mia, my little bright thing Mia, Mia, you’re my morning You make this old heart sing Mia, Mia, stay near me Mia, your name is my warm light Mia, Mia, you’re my reason You turn my dark to bright Mia, Mia (Mia) Stay near me (stay near me)
