Nine Years With You

(Verse)

Nine years ago, a spark in the dark

Turned into a fire in my chest

Didn’t know then what heaven meant

Till your head fell soft on my shoulder to rest

We were just new hearts with a dream in our hands

Building castles out of thin air

Now every brick, every breath, every plan

Has your name written everywhere

(Pre-Chorus)

Through every storm, every tear we’ve cried

Every mountain standing tall

I found my home right by your side

You’re the reason I stand at all

(Chorus)

Nine years loving you

And my heart still skips like it did back then

Every morning feels brand new

When I wake and see your grin

If forever’s just a word

Let me show you what it means

Nine years down, a lifetime to go

You’re the woman of my dreams

(Verse)

We’ve seen seasons change their tune

Watched the world turn fast and slow

Held each other through the midnight blue

And danced in the golden glow

You know my fears before I speak

You hear the silence in my voice

Every time I felt too weak

Your love reminded me of choice

(Pre-Chorus)

Through every doubt, every scar we share

Every lesson love has taught

You were the answer to every prayer

You’re everything I ever sought

(Chorus)

Nine years loving you

And my heart still skips like it did back then

Every morning feels brand new

When I wake and see your grin

If forever’s just a word

Let me show you what it means

Nine years down, a lifetime to go

You’re the woman of my dreams

(Guitar solo)

(Bridge)

If time tries to steal the light in your eyes

I’ll be the flame that keeps it bright

When the weight of the world feels heavy at night

I’ll hold you close, hold you tight

Every laugh line, every tear

Every moment, every kiss

Nine years gone and it’s still clear

You’re my always, you’re my bliss

(Final Chorus)

Nine years loving you

And I’d choose you all over again

Through every high, every blue

Through every loss and every win

If forever’s what we make

Then I’ll spend mine loving you

Nine years strong, and my heart belongs

To the one who makes it true

Outro

Nine years, and it still feels new

Every road leads back to you

And if I had just one life to live

I’d spend all of it loving you.**
