Forty-Five Winters

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Two kids in a hallway, all those years ago Holding hands in autumn, didn't really know Life would take us different ways, oceans in between Forty-five long winters, holding to a dream But somewhere in the silence, faith was whispering low That love don't ever vanish, it just waits to grow [Chorus] And here we are, hand in hand again You're my lover, my forever friend Through every road that led me back to you Every prayer that finally came true This is grace, this is where we begin Rebecca, I'm so glad I found you again [Verse 2] A message out of nowhere, your name lit up the screen Suddenly the years between us felt just like a dream We laughed like we were seventeen, cried like we were free All the love we lost back then came rushing back to me Who would've thought a second chance could feel so brand new? God was always writing us, I just never knew [Chorus] And here we are, hand in hand again You're my lover, my forever friend Through every road that led me back to you Every prayer that finally came true This is grace, this is where we begin Rebecca, I'm so glad I found you again [Bridge] Some call it luck, but I call it the plan A patient kind of love that understands [Verse 3] So when the sun is setting and our story's nearly told I want your hand in my hand, growing gently old Whatever waits beyond us, whatever skies we see I'm hoping, sweet Rebecca, that you're right there with me Every happy ending starts with showing up again And I'd choose you in every life, my love, my friend [Outro] Hand in hand, where we begin Rebecca, I'd find you again
