Through the Years Version # 2

Lyrics: Through the Years Version # 2

Lyrics: “Through the Years” [Verse 1] (M) We met on a quiet, golden day, Two simple hearts just finding their way (W) A nervous laugh, a borrowed smile, We talked on that bench for quite a while (M) Coffee turned to late-night drives, Sharing dreams, sharing lives (W) Didn’t know then, but deep inside, Forever had already arrived [Pre-Chorus] (M+W) Seasons changed, but we stayed true, Every sunset led me back to you [Chorus] (M+W) Through the years, through the days, Through the laughter and the gray We built a life from love so real, In every moment we could feel (M+W) Hand in hand, come what may, Time may bend but love will stay From “hello” to all we’ve made, Through the years, love never fades [Verse 2] (W) One night under a sky so wide, You took my hand, stood by my side (M) A little ring, your voice so low, “Will you be mine?”—I said “yes” slow (M) White dress walking down the aisle, (M+W) Tears and joy in every smile Promises we vowed to keep, A love so strong, so full, so deep [Chorus] (M+W) Through the years, through the days, Through the laughter and the gray We built a life from love so real, In every moment we could feel (M+W) Hand in hand, come what may, Time may bend but love will stay From “hello” to all we’ve made, Through the years, love never fades [Verse 3] M+W) Then one day, a brand-new cry, Tiny hands, your eyes in mine (W) A little girl, our hearts in two, Every dream now lived in you (M+W) First steps taken across the floor, Bedtime stories, wanting more Lullabies and sleepless nights, Every tear, every delight [Bridge] (M+W) Nine years passed like drifting light, Watched her grow before our eyes (M) Then a boy came strong and bright, Filled our world with love and life (M+W) One year later, soft and sweet, Another girl made us complete Three small voices, laughter loud, Our little world, our hearts so proud [Chorus] (M+W) Through the years, through the days, Through the chaos and the grace We built a home where love could stay, In every hug, in every way (M+W) Hand in hand, come what may, Time keeps turning day by day From first steps to games we played, Through the years, love never fades [Verse 4] (M+W) Backpacks packed, first day of school, Holding hands at the bus stop too Tears we hid, waves goodbye, Watching time just hurry by (M+W) Late night talks and growing pains, Sunny joys and quiet rains Caps and gowns, we cheered so loud, Standing there so full of pride [Verse 5] (M) Then one day we stood once more, Like we had those years before (W) Our daughter dressed in white again, Holding hands just like back then (M) He asked her softly, she said “I do,” Just like I once said to you And in their eyes we clearly see, (M+W) A reflection of our memory [Final Chorus] (M+W) Through the years, through it all, Through every rise and every fall We gave our hearts, we gave our name, And love came back just the same (M+W) Hand in hand, still we stay, Though the children find their way From young love to family made, Through the years… love never fades [Outro] (M+W) Now we sit in quiet light, Holding hands as day turns night And in the echoes, soft and clear… We hear our whole life Through the years
