Oh How The Years Go By
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
In our times of trouble
We only had ourselves, nobody else
No one there to save us
We had to save ourselves
And when the storms came through
They found me and you, uh back together
And when the sun would shine
It was yours and mine, yours and mine forever
Chorus:
Oh how the years go by
Oh how the love brings tears to my eyes
All through the changes, the soul never dies
We fight, we laugh, we cry, as the years go by
There were times we stumbled
They thought they had us down, we came around then
How we rolled and rambled
We got lost and we got found
Now we're back on solid ground
We took everything
All our times would bring, in this world of dangers
'cause when your heart is strong
You know you're not alone, in this world of strangers
Chorus
And if we lose our way
Any night or day
Well we'll always be
Where we should be
I'm there for you
And i know you're there for me
As the years go by
You know you're not alone
In this world of strangers
Chorus 2x
