From Rarotonga to Mauke (Our Dance)

[Intro – soft ukulele strum, distant ocean wave sound] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 1 – gentle steel drum riff, light shaker] Rarotonga sun on my skin, 2013’s first hello Mauke’s smile across the Westpac counter, my world started to slow We counted coins and shared small laughs, days turning into years 2016’s first late night drive, no more hiding all my fears [Chorus – layered acoustic guitar, soft string swells] From the lagoon’s blue to the city’s glow Through the hard days, we never let go Myra, my anchor, my light in the dark This dance is ours, right from the start [Verse 2 – subtle bongo beat, warm piano chords] 2017 came with heavy news, your grandma needed us close We put our plans on pause, let love be the only thing we know Five years of quiet care, tears and quiet grace She left us with her love, guiding us through every space [Chorus – added ukulele harmony, gentle backing vocals] From the quiet nights to the storm’s loud roar We held on tight, we asked for more Myra, my heart, my forever song This dance is ours, where we belong [Verse 3 – soft steel drum melody, light tambourine] 2023’s new horizon, New Zealand’s wind in our hair Post Haste runs, Fidelity days, building a life we could share 2025’s sweet surprise, you walked through my office door Our paths finally aligned, like we were always meant for more [Bridge – stripped back acoustic guitar, intimate vocal tone] TwoPuhNah’s hand in ours, growing up through every fight Her laughter our compass, turning darkness into light January 2026, down on one knee You said “yes” to forever, and set my whole heart free [Solo – soaring ukulele melody, soft steel drum accompaniment] (Instrumental Solo) [Chorus – full band, warm brass accents, joyful backing vocals] From the islands’ call to the wedding hall Through every high, through every fall Myra, my wife, my everything This dance is ours, now and always [Outro – fading ukulele, distant ocean wave, soft vocal hum] October 2027, our dance begins again Hand in hand, heart to heart, until the very end
