Lyrics

Our first time together
High up in the mountains
The sky with no end
The breeze and your smile
Felt like home again

The years and tears
That have come and gone
Those long-ago days of yesteryear
But we made it together
Through joy and stormy weather
You were always near

The sadness of happiness
The colors of the darkest night
The shadows of our dreams
The edge of our smiles
All for me and you
Holding on with all our might

Friends have come and gone
But some are still around
Parties that were so important then
Nameless faces
Lost in crowded places
But your hand was always found

Now the seasons turn again
And the years feel soft and wide
We carry every memory
Like a river carries time
Still I wake each morning grateful
With your heartbeat next to mine

And when the nights grow quiet
And the world fades out of view
I still hear our story playing
In a gentle shade of blue
All the moments we’ve been given
Every heartbeat pulled us through
I would live it all again
If it led me back to you

The sadness of happiness
The colors of the darkest night
The shadows of our dreams
The edge of our smiles
All for me and you
Love that still shines bright
