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
