Verse 1
We were younger when the story started,
Neither one knew where the road would go.
Years became seasons, seasons became memories,
And somehow you became the place I know.
We changed with time, we changed the names,
Changed the shape of what we were.
But underneath all those years between us,
Something stayed untouched, something stayed sure.
Chorus
One lifetime wasn’t enough to love you,
Not for all the roads we’ve traveled through.
Every version of me has known you,
Every chapter carries something of you.
And if love is measured by who remains
When the years have taken everything else away,
Then I know what forever means—
One lifetime wasn’t enough for me.
Verse 2
You taught me books and faraway places,
Rome and London, stages and painted skies.
You told me stories of standing in the wings,
Afraid to step out underneath the lights.
And you have held my hand through harder things,
When there were no perfect words to say.
Sometimes love is not a grand declaration—
Sometimes love is simply choosing to stay.
Chorus
One lifetime wasn’t enough to love you,
Not for all the roads we’ve traveled through.
Every version of me has known you,
Every chapter carries something of you.
And if love is measured by who remains
When the years have taken everything else away,
Then I know what forever means—
One lifetime wasn’t enough for me.
Bridge
You once told me, “I just want to be with you,”
And somehow that was everything.
No promises about tomorrow,
No need to explain what all these years have been.
You are laughter in the passenger seat,
A story I’ve heard but still want told.
You are thirty-five years of becoming,
And somehow you still feel like home.
Final Chorus
One lifetime wasn’t enough to love you,
So I’ll treasure every day that we still have.
Every meal, every road, every ordinary moment,
Every memory that makes us laugh.
And when the road someday grows quiet,
And God calls one of us beyond what we can see,
Love won’t disappear with distance—
It will still be part of you and me.
Because every version of me has known you,
And every version always will.
One lifetime wasn’t enough to love you.
And somehow…
I don’t think forever will be either.
