[Feels - in the style of Juanita du Plessis meets Steve Hofmeyr, with a bit of Frida Francis charm and Snotkop energy.]
[Verse 1]
There we walk, just you and me, by the ocean side
Barefoot dreams in the morning tide
The sun shines soft on the silver sea
Tonight we’re chasing what’s meant to be
I was lost, but you came along
Now every heartache’s a country song
From this day on, I know it’s true
Baby, my number one is you
---
[Chorus]
I wanna hold you here by my side forever
Your heartbeat dancing next to mine
You whisper low, I’ve waited so long —
Honey, love like this takes time
I wanna love you wild, and tease you gently
Spoil you silly and laugh all night
I swear it’s true, I’ve never been surer —
You’re my sweetheart for life
---
[Verse 2]
I’ll give you all the best I can
Walk hand in hand through shifting sand
The stars come out, and there you are
My wish come true beneath that southern star
The sea is singing our sweet refrain
The wind is whispering your name
I’ve found the one I’ve waited for
Now I don’t need to search no more
---
[Chorus]
I wanna hold you here by my side forever
Your heartbeat dancing next to mine
You whisper low, I’ve waited so long —
Honey, love like this takes time
I wanna love you wild, and tease you gently
Spoil you silly and laugh all night
I swear it’s true, I’ve never been surer —
You’re my sweetheart for life
---
[Bridge – slower, emotional]
Two years gone and we’re still strong
This love’s the fire that keeps me warm
You turn my world upside down
And I’ll never let you go, no how
---
[Final Chorus – big & bright with harmonies]
I wanna hold you here by my side forever
Your heartbeat dancing next to mine
You whisper low, I’ve waited so long —
Honey, love like this takes time
I wanna love you wild, and tease you gently
Spoil you silly and laugh all night
I swear it’s true, I’ve never been surer —
You’re my sweetheart for life
---
[Outro – softly with steel guitar & harmonica fade]
Yeah… you’re my sweetheart forever
My sweetheart forever
