Twenty Years Away

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Down those old hallways where we first met Two young hearts we never could forget A year of laughter, then we said goodbye But something stayed alive, you and I Through all the miles and years apart I carried you inside my heart [Chorus] Oh Maureen, you were my very first love Some things are written in the stars above We found our way back home, it's plain to see This is our new beginning, you and me [Verse 2] Life took its turns, we both let go Of promises from long ago Then in that quiet, grieving room I saw your face and felt the bloom Of everything I'd tried to hide The love that never left my side [Chorus] Oh Maureen, you were my very first love Some things are written in the stars above We found our way back home, it's plain to see This is our new beginning, you and me [Bridge] Twenty years just melted away When your eyes met mine that day God knew all along what He would do He was always leading me to you [Verse 3] Now a new house holds our name A little one to light the flame A family growing, dreams so wide With you forever by my side Maureen, my joy, my faithful friend This is a love that will not end [Chorus] Oh Maureen, you were my very first love Some things are written in the stars above We found our way back home, it's plain to see This is our new beginning, you and me [Outro] From high school halls to wedding rings Look at all the joy life brings Forever yours, and you're mine too Maureen, I'm coming home to you
