[Verse 1]
We were young, just kids with dreams in our eyes
No road map, just heartbeats and endless skies
We stumbled through the dark, hand in hand
Built a home with mismatched pieces and a bigger plan
You held me down when I couldn’t stand tall
I caught your tears every time you’d fall
And even when we didn’t know the way
We loved through the silence, and chose to stay
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the world sees the chapters we’ve been through
But only we know the words, the realest truth
[Chorus]
We grew love like roots in the rain
Fought through the struggle, danced through the pain
You’re my reason, my rhythm, my rise above
This life we built—it’s more than enough
Now we smile through the eyes of our grandson’s face
A love like ours time could never erase
No fairytale, no movie screen—
Just me and you, and everything in between
[Verse 2]
Remember those nights, couch cushions as a bed
Whispers of dreams we never even said
Fighting the world with our backs to the wall
But even in pieces, we still had it all
You taught me how to bend but never break
Taught me love ain’t just sweet—it’s what you make
Through every “I’m sorry,” every tear we dried
We raised each other with love as our guide
[Pre-Chorus]
Now we’re older, but our hearts still young
Every scar just proof of the songs we’ve sung
[Chorus]
We grew love like roots in the rain
Fought through the struggle, danced through the pain
You’re my reason, my rhythm, my rise above
This life we built—it’s more than enough
Now we smile through the eyes of our grandson’s face
A love like ours time could never erase
No fairytale, no movie screen—
Just me and you, and everything in between
[Bridge]
They don’t see all the work, the nights we cried
The way we always found each other on the other side
They just see the beauty—never the battles we fought
But I’d choose you every lifetime, no matter the cost
[Breakdown – A cappella , ad-lib]
(26 years, still you and me)
(We built this love—brick by memory)
(Through every storm, we found the light)
(My forever, my only, my fire, my wife)
[Powerful Final Chorus – ad-libs]
We grew love like roots in the rain
Fought through the struggle, danced through the pain
You’re my reason, my rhythm, my rise above
This life we built—it’s more than enough
Now we smile through the eyes of our grandson’s face
A love like ours time could never erase
No fairytale, no movie screen—
Just me and you… and everything in between
