(Note: I LOVE THIS SONG. The flash made me cry. -uhu-) Aelita sat in her room, glancing at the picture of her dad on the wall. Tears ran down her cheeks, as she thought of 'back then.' Back then, when she knew no Lyoko. Back then, when her mother was alive.
Back then cannot come back. Aelita knew this very well. And yet...
And yet...
"It's been a long time, daddy.
I really, really miss you.
At least you're safe now
In a beautiful place…called Lyoko."
Oh, I'm thinking about our younger years
"We went to the interface to look for you."
There was only you and me
"I looked all over."
We were young and wild and free
"Even though I hate Carthage."
Now nothing can take you away from me
"I learned how to swim this year."
We've been down that road before
"But I can't swim too well."
But that's over now
"At least not under water."
You keep me coming back for more
"Can't you see me?"
Baby, you're all that I want
When you're lying here in my arms
I'm finding it hard to believe
We're in heaven
"I started school this year."
Love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven
"I pinned a picture of you in my dorm room."
Oh once in your life you find someone
"You are the greatest daddy."
Who will turn your world around
Pick you up when you're feeling down
Now nothing can change what you mean to me
"I can even play the piano!"
There's a lot that I could say
But just hold me now
"Even though I miss you teaching me."
Cause our love will light the way
"Can't you see me?"
Baby you're all that I want
When you're lying here in my arms
I'm finding it hard to believe
We're in heaven
"I miss how you used to talk with me."
And love is all that I need
"We'd be up all night."
And I found it there in your heart
"My eyes would hurt."
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven
"I try not to cry."
I've been waiting for so long
"My friends say it's okay."
For something to arrive
For love to come along
"I know you don't like it when I cry."
Now our dreams are coming true
Through the good times and the bad
"You never wanted me to be sad."
I'll be standing there by you
"I try Daddy, but it hurts."
Baby you're all that I want
"Is it true you're not coming home?"
When you're lying here in my arms
"Maybe someday-"
I'm finding it hard to believe
We're in heaven
"I can visit you in Lyoko, okay?"
And love is all that I need
And I've found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven
"It's time for me to go bed now.
I sleep with the light on
Just in case you come to my room
And kiss me good night."
Aelita's eyes misted over as she thought wistfully of her father. Lying in her bed, she murmured these last words.
"I love you so much.
I miss you Daddy."
