Seventeen Years Later

(Intro — soft, emotional)
We were miles apart, different skies, different days
Two lonely hearts drifting separate ways
Never thought fate would rewrite our story
But love found us in unexpected glory

(Verse 1)
Didn’t plan, didn’t see it coming
Different worlds, but the same heart drumming
A distant dream suddenly came near
You appeared, and everything was clear

No map could show where this would go
No one could know what we would grow
A simple moment, a single glance
Turned our lives into a second chance

(Pre-Chorus)
From strangers to forever
Through every kind of weather

(Chorus — big emotional pop)
We were far, now we’re closer than the stars above
Didn’t believe in fate, now we’re living in love
Seventeen years, still standing strong
Through every right, through every wrong

Hand in hand, we learned to stay
Through every storm that came our way
Built a life, a dream so true
Every road still leads to you

(Verse 2)
Life got heavy, days got wild
But hope was shining in our children’s smiles
Every tear, every sacrifice
Built this beautiful life

We fell, we rose, we learned to fight
Held each other through the darkest nights
Not just lovers, but soulmates too
Building dreams we’ll see come true

(Pre-Chorus)
The years keep turning pages
Love only grows with ages

(Chorus — bigger energy)
We were far, now we’re closer than the stars above
Didn’t believe in fate, now we’re living in love
Seventeen years, still standing strong
Through every right, through every wrong

Hand in hand, we learned to stay
Through every storm that came our way
Built a life, a dream so true
Every road still leads to you

(Bridge — emotional, intimate → build up)
We crossed the distance
We conquered fear
Through every season
You stayed right here

A thousand battles, side by side
You’re still my home, my heart, my guide

(Final Chorus — powerful, uplifting)
We were far, now forever side by side
In your love is where my world resides
Seventeen years and still we believe
In all the dreams we will achieve

Hand in hand, we’ll always be
Writing our endless destiny
Through all the years, my heart still knew
My every tomorrow begins with you

(Outro — soft, warm)
From far away to here we stand
Still holding tight, still hand in hand
