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.**
