(Intro – 8 bars | Filtered Rhodes, vinyl crackle, soft trumpet swell, no drums first 4 bars)
Yeah…
Funny how a moment turns into a lifetime…
One look… and I was gone…
⸻
(Verse 1 – Rap/Sing Hybrid | Drums drop in bar 1, bass walking, tight pocket)
I wasn’t lookin’, I was cool where I stood
Then you walked in, shifted all my good
Time slowed down, room got quiet
Heart said jump, mind went silent
One glance turned into gravity
Pulled me straight into what love could be
Didn’t fight it, let it take me down
Free-fallin’ when you came around
⸻
(Pre-Chorus – Sung | Drums soften, Rhodes open, rising harmony)
It felt like destiny touched my face
I saw my future in your space
No hesitation, no maybe
Just you and me, drivin’ me crazy
⸻
(Chorus – Sung | Full groove, horns accent bar ends, dance energy)
I fell in love the moment you looked my way
Straight into the abyss, yeah, I slipped away
Now all I see is forever with you
Love, marriage, kids, yeah the whole damn truth
Forever with you
Yeah, forever with you
From the first heartbeat, I already knew
I’m forever… forever with you
⸻
(Verse 2 – Rap | Drums back to full swing, bass more active)
I see Sunday mornings, kids runnin’ wild
Your smile in the mirror, that grown woman style
Arguments fade but the love stay loud
Built somethin’ real, put the work in now
From first sight to the end of time
You was the answer before the question crossed my mind
⸻
(Bridge – Half-Time | Drums drop to halftime, jazzy chords, emotional pause)
If this is a dream, don’t wake me now
If this is love, I’m stayin’ down
No parachute, no safety net
I jumped in deep and I ain’t left yet
⸻
(Final Chorus – Big | Full instrumentation, stacked harmonies, ad-libs)
I fell in love the moment you looked my way
Straight into the abyss, I slipped away
Now all I see is forever with you
Love, marriage, kids, yeah the whole damn truth
Forever… forever with you
⸻
(Outro – Fade | Trumpet riff, chant repeats, slow fade)
Forever…
Forever…
Forever with you…
