Verse 1:

We were young, love was strong

But our parents said it was wrong

Years went by, took different paths

Built our lives, yet memories last

Pre-Chorus:

Now you call, with tears in your voice

Facing troubles, no other choice

In my heart, there's a place for you

But life has changed, what can we do?

Chorus:

We were meant to love, but time slipped away

In different worlds, we had to stay

Still, I pray for you, every night

Hoping your troubles will turn out alright

I'll hold my family close, keep them safe

But I'll never forget the love we gave

Verse 2:

I've got kids, a wife, a life to lead

But in my heart, your memory bleeds

Wish we could turn back the hands of time

But I know, you can never be mine

Pre-Chorus:

You're my past, a love that couldn't be

Now I wish the best for your family

We'll both move on, it's what we must

In life's journey, in God we trust

Chorus:

We were meant to love, but time slipped away

In different worlds, we had to stay

Still, I pray for you, every night

Hoping your troubles will turn out alright

I'll hold my family close, keep them safe

But I'll never forget the love we gave

Bridge:

So here I am, with memories to keep

Wishing you well, though my heart weeps

In the silence, I'll send a prayer

For your peace and love, to always be there

Chorus:

We were meant to love, but time slipped away

In different worlds, we had to stay

Still, I pray for you, every night

Hoping your troubles will turn out alright

I'll hold my family close, keep them safe

But I'll never forget the love we gave
