Verse 1
April eighteenth, Chinatown lights
Good Friday glow in the middle of the night
You by the bar, watching me move
Every step I took, I felt your eyes too
I caught your smile, you caught my hand
I said “dance with me,” you said “yeah, I can”
One song turned into something real
From the very first moment, I knew how it’d feel
Pre-Chorus
Didn’t know your name
But I knew your face
Felt like fate had something planned that day
Chorus
So come a little closer, girl, don’t be shy
Every time I look at you, I still feel that night
I’ve been loving you since that first slow spin
And I’m still right here, letting you in
Yeah, my heart’s been open ever since you walked in
And I’ll never close the door on us, my friend
Verse 2
Easter Monday, I picked up the phone
Had to find the nerve just to hear your tone
TGI Fridays, laughing for hours
One drink turned to coffee, lost track of time
Cappuccino foam all over my face
I thought I blew it, you thought it was cute
You laughed at me, I laughed too
Fell a little harder right there with you
Pre-Chorus
Didn’t need a plan
Didn’t need a sign
Every little moment felt right in time
Chorus
So come a little closer, girl, don’t be shy
Every time I look at you, I still feel that night
I’ve been loving you since that first slow spin
And I’m still right here, letting you in
Yeah, my heart’s been open ever since you walked in
And I’ll never close the door on us, my friend
Bridge
Next day, at my mama’s place
One kiss, yeah, it sealed our fate
Twenty-three years, we’ve risen, we’ve fallen
But we never stopped choosing each other, darling
Through every storm, through every scar
You’ve always had my heart
Break (soft, spoken-style)
Still see you at that bar
Still feel that dance
Still thankful every chance I get
Final Chorus
Now there’s two pairs of eyes looking back at me
My beautiful Gi-la and our baby girl, I see
Maxime Sofia Aye-da, you changed our world
Now I’ve got two ladies, my whole universe
I’ll keep loving you for all my days
In every lifetime, in every way
Yeah, my heart’s been open, it always was
And I’ll never close the door on us, my love
Outro
April nights to forevermore
Still dancing, still choosing you
I’ll leave the door open
Always for you
