In the halls of high school where dreams were made
I met a girl in the springtime shade
Her laugh was bright like the morning sun
From that moment on I knew she was the one
Years went by we took separate roads
College days and heavy loads
But fate was kind our paths crossed again
Love rekindled stronger than it had been
Through the years hand in hand
Built a life just as planned
Now I tell our story with a tear in my eye
Of love that lasted till the day we said goodbye
We stood at the altar made our vows
Through thick and thin we'd weather it somehow
Kids came along our hearts overflowed
In their laughter our love was echoed
Through the years hand in hand
Built a life just as planned
Now I tell our story with a tear in my eye
Of love that lasted till the day we said goodbye
Watched our children grow find their way
Through life's ups and downs come what may
In their eyes we saw our past
Memories made forever to last
Through the years hand in hand
Built a life just as planned
Now I tell our story with a tear in my eye
Of love that lasted till the day we said goodbye
By her side I held her tight
As she slipped away into the night
Now I'm left here all alone
With a house full of memories and a heart of stone
Through the years hand in hand
Built a life just as planned
Now I tell our story with a tear in my eye
Of love that lasted till the day we said goodbye
So here I sit in the twilight's glow
Telling our tale to those who know
Of a love so deep and a life so grand
Until the end we walked hand in hand
