Lyrics

intro

Soft rain falls on the open trail Memories linger like morning mist

verse

I walked these paths when we were young Hand in hand through golden fields Your laughter danced on summer breeze Now shadows stretch where sunlight yields

chorus

Oh, the heart remembers what the road forgets Love like a river runs deep and wide Through valleys low and hills we climbed I'll carry you where the wildflowers hide

verse

Nights by the water, stars overhead We carved our dreams in the river sand Time pulled us apart like autumn leaves Drifting away on a gentle hand

bridge

But in quiet moments, I feel you near A warmth that time cannot erase The road keeps calling, yet here I stand Holding the pieces of yesterday's grace

chorus

Oh, the heart remembers what the road forgets Love like a river runs deep and wide Through valleys low and hills we climbed I'll carry you where the wildflowers hide

outro

Soft rain falls, the trail goes on Your light still glows in the dawn
