Forty-Five Years to Find You

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Nineteen-eighty, October lights Two souls met and the world felt right Through every season, every storm A flame kept flickering, burning warm Some roads we walked, then walked apart But time kept circling back to the heart [Chorus] Oh, we are no longer walking alone Hand in hand, we found our way home After all the years, after all we've known Love came back, and made us whole Slow dance rhythm, soft and sure This is the love I was waiting for [Verse 2] Two-thousand-twenty brought you near Forty years of laughter, joy and tears Now we finish each other's lines Dancing slow to our favorite rhymes Samuel, your smile lights up the room Kind and patient, sweet perfume of you [Chorus] Oh, we are no longer walking alone Hand in hand, we found our way home After all the years, after all we've known Love came back, and made us whole Slow dance rhythm, soft and sure This is the love I was waiting for [Bridge] Three children grown, four grands to spoil Family love, the sweetest soil Sixty-something, still feels brand new Samuel, baby, I'm so glad it's you [Verse 3] Six years strong this coming fall Forty-five years through it all Your gentle laugh, your steady hand The kind of love I understand Dancing, talking, joking, loving deep into the night Everything about us feels so right [Chorus] Oh, we are no longer walking alone Hand in hand, we found our way home After all the years, after all we've known Love came back, and made us whole Slow dance rhythm, soft and sure This is the love I was waiting for [Outro] Samuel, my forever, my own Together now, never to walk alone Walking home, walking home
