As the days go by Memories flash in my mind When we first met You comforted my soul You inspired me To learn, grow, and find Sometimes dreams collide But we still have time Despite what we've been through I remain devoted to you Let me hold you close, my dear Together we'll battle fear Don't leave, always stay near Say the words I long to hear When we look back on these years Maybe we'll laugh Mistakes are part of growing up Creating the past Hardships will come We're worth the fight We're still young Oh our future is bright Despite what we've been through I remain devoted to you Let me hold you close, my dear Together we'll battle fear Don't leave, always stay near Say the words I long to hear As lonely nights passed I discovered what I lacked Then our separate paths finally circled back Now let's cross the bridge we almost burned We can try again With all that we learned Let me hold you close, my dear Together we'll battle fear Don't leave, always stay near Say the words I long to hear Let me hold you close, my dear Say the words Together we'll battle fear Say the words Don't leave, always stay near Say the words I long to hear
