It Takes Years

I’ll always remember the first time I saw her
I so wanted her to be mine
She turned to go then a simple hello had us both frozen in time
We’ve taken some wrong turns
Through it we’ve both learned
Exactly what matters most
One thing we know is through laughter and tears
it takes years to be this in love

She keeps all of my secrets like gold that she holds in her hand
There are so many pieces of me only she understands
It takes a lifetime of magic and you find
that too much is never enough
it’s more than believing and help from above
it takes years to be this in love

we’ve smiled through the good times and cried through the bad
found comfort in each other’s touch
the heartaches and good times have all brought us
it takes years to be this in love

She keeps all of my secrets like gold that she holds in her hand
There are so many pieces of me only she understands
It takes a lifetime of magic and you find
that too much is never enough
it’s more than believing and help from above
it takes years to be this in love

It’s way more than friendship and patience and trust
it takes years to be this in love
