Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When we were little, just kids in the sun,
We'd walk through the playground, our hearts were as one.
Hand in hand, so carefree, laughter all around,
Whispers and giggles, pure joy that we found.
But as we got older, our friends would tease,
So we let go of hands, just to fit in, if you please.
We thought it was silly, didn't want to get caught,
Little did we know, those moments meant a lot.

[Chorus]
Holdin' hands again, after all these years,
Through the trials and laughter, and all of our tears.
From children to lovers, we found our way back,
With every soft touch, love's on the right track.

[Verse 2]
As we stood at the altar, promising forever,
We catered for more hearts; it was magic together.
In the warmth of our home, when the kids would call,
We'd hold hands to guide them through every rise and fall.
With little ones tugging, and grandchildren in tow,
In every sweet moment, we felt that love grow.
Yet the world kept turnin', time slipped through our hands,
But we never forgot those childlike plans.

[Chorus]
Holdin' hands again, after all these years,
Through the trials and laughter, and all of our tears.
From children to lovers, we found our way back,
With every soft touch, love's on the right track.

[Bridge]
Now the kids are all grown, and the house feels so quiet,
But in our hearts, dear love, we know there's no denying,
We can hold hands anytime, like we did back then,
Every moment we cherish, just you and me, my friend.

[Verse 3]
Sittin' on the porch, watchin' the stars shine bright,
With a gentle squeeze, we remember that night,
When we were just kids, no worries upon us,
Now with every handshake, we send love up to the cosmos.
Together forever, the fire still burns,
In the dance of our hearts, it's our turn to learn.

[Chorus]
Holdin' hands again, after all these years,
Through the trials and laughter, and all of our tears.
From children to lovers, we found our way back,
With every soft touch, love's on the right track.

[Outro]
So here's to the journey, the paths that we've crossed,
In every soft whisper, we know there's no loss.
We'll keep holdin' hands, through all of the days,
In this beautiful life, love's got so many ways.
