always and forever

[Intro – soft piano arpeggios, faint cello hum] Sunlight spills through kitchen glass Your laugh hangs in the morning air [Verse 1 – piano continues, subtle shaker rhythm] I still trace the scar on your left hand From that summer we got lost in the sand You said "this is where we'll always stand" I held your hand and promised I'd understand [Pre-Chorus – strings begin to swell, soft snare roll] Time moves fast but some things don't change Your eyes still light up when you say my name [Chorus 1 – full piano and strings, warm vocal harmonies] Always and forever, that's what we swore Through every storm and every open door No matter where the road may ever lead You're the only one my heart will ever need [Verse 2 – piano melody shifts slightly, added acoustic guitar strum] We danced in rain when the power died Shared a blanket when the world felt wide You wiped my tears when my dreams collide Said "I'm here" and made the fear subside [Pre-Chorus – strings build, louder snare] Years pass by but our love stays the same Your smile still feels like a flame [Chorus 2 – layered strings, more intense vocal delivery] Always and forever, that's our sacred vow Through every high and every lonely low No matter what the years may ever bring You're the song my soul will always sing [Interlude – piano solo, delicate string accompaniment] (Instrumental Solo) [Bridge – stripped back piano only, intimate vocals] I don't need stars to light up the night Just your hand in mine, holding on tight All I want is this life we've made Every moment, every single day [Chorus 3 – full orchestral swell, soaring vocal harmonies] Always and forever, until the end of time You're the reason my heart still knows how to shine No matter what the world may ever do I'll love you, always and forever, true [Outro – fading piano, soft string fade] Sunlight fades to evening glow Your hand in mine, we'll never let go
