They say things don't always go as planned
But I love you
We'll overcome it together
This Happiness I hold tight
I won't let go, Baby
Forever and always
I'll keep on loving you
Even if it takes a long way around
At our own pace
It's a miracle we're running together towards the same goal
It's not quite the future
I had imagined
But you and I will definitely
Be connected somehow, somewhere
Sometimes we just spin our wheels
And take the long way again
Sometimes you need the courage to stop
Even if my voice
Doesn't reach you anymore
Deep down in our hearts
We understand each other
We're kindred spirits, you know
They say things don't always go as planned
But I love you
We'll overcome it together
This Happiness I hold tight
I won't let go, Baby
Forever and always
I'll keep on loving you
It always starts with
A casual "Hello"
Layered on top of each other
Just a simple, everyday life
We weave a melody
Playing Your Harmony
I'm not alone
You are my best friend
