Verse 1: For Yashi the apple of my eye, how you grew From tiny alien to monkey girl, now a darling young lady too I remember the first time I saw you, with an elongated head, so new We brought home a puppy, Rum, to be your little friend But the little furball, would run away, till the very end You'd chase after Rum, with a determined little face And drag him back by his leg, with a giggle and a playful grace Chorus: But now Rum's grown bigger, and faster than you And when he chases you, we see a role reversal or two You'd run away from Rum, with a squeal of delight Our little monkey-alien, no longer the pursuer, but the one in flight! Chorus: Yashaswini, my heart beats for you In your eyes, my love shines true Through every fall, every win, every tear You're a part of me, my dear, always near Verse 2: I recall your Your karate competition, my heart raced, but you showed your might, and won from the girl twice your size! From broken legs to goofy math mistakes, from crying after a stupid tennis matches to endless pride i enjoyed when your teachers spoke of you Your journey's been a rollercoaster, but with you, I'll always ride Chorus: Yashaswini, my heart beats for you In your eyes, my love shines true Through every fall, every win, every tear You're a part of me, my dear, always near
