Through Every Winter

[Verse 1] Spring breeze carried your laugh through the screen door We planted seeds where the old oak once stood tall You said, "Love’s not just the bloom, but the root that won’t let go" I didn’t know then how deep that truth would grow Summer nights, fireflies painted the dark We danced on the porch to a song half-remembered Your hand in mine, steady as the tide rolling in I thought, "This moment’s a gift, but it won’t last forever" [Pre-Chorus] But time, it moves like a river Carving canyons through the years Yet here we are, still together Through the laughter and the tears [Chorus] Seasons change, leaves fall, snow covers the ground But you’re my constant, my compass, my unshakable ground Autumn winds may whisper of endings drawing near But our love’s a story that time can’t disappear It’s written in the lines where your palm meets mine A promise that outlasts the test of time Gentle as a lullaby, strong as an oak tree Seasons of us, forever you and me [Verse 2] Winter came with a chill that froze the lake We huddled close by the fire, counting the days You held my hand when the doctor said, "It’s gonna be hard" And I realized then, love’s not just the good, but the guard Spring again, but the oak’s gone, replaced by a sapling You smiled and said, "See? Even endings start something new" I traced the gray in your hair, the crinkle by your eye These marks of time, they’re just love wearing its truth [Pre-Chorus] Time, it moves like a river Carving canyons through the years Yet here we are, still together Through the laughter and the tears [Chorus] Seasons change, leaves fall, snow covers the ground But you’re my constant, my compass, my unshakable ground Autumn winds may whisper of endings drawing near But our love’s a story that time can’t disappear It’s written in the lines where your palm meets mine A promise that outlasts the test of time Gentle as a lullaby, strong as an oak tree Seasons of us, forever you and me [Bridge] They say nothing stays the same, that all fades with the light But I’ve seen forever in the way you hold me tight Through the wrinkles, the wars, the "I’m sorry"s, the "I love you"s We’ve built a home that time can’t break in two [Chorus – Repeat] Seasons change, leaves fall, snow covers the ground But you’re my constant, my compass, my unshakable ground Autumn winds may whisper of endings drawing near But our love’s a story that time can’t disappear It’s written in the lines where your palm meets mine A promise that outlasts the test of time Gentle as a lullaby, strong as an oak tree Seasons of us, forever you and me [Outro] Spring breeze carries our laughter through the screen door We’re older now, but the root’s still holding strong Love’s not just the bloom, but the life that keeps on growing Seasons of us, forever, and then some
