(Verse 1) I walked the same old road again, Just like I did back then. The river moved the way it used to, But life had changed for me and you. The tree was taller than before, The bench still stood beside the shore. I thought of days we left somehow, And wondered where you might be now. (Chorus) After all these years apart, I still recognized your heart. Every dream I carried through Was somehow leading back to you. After all the roads we’ve known, All the places we have gone, Life has brought us here somehow, Standing face to face right now. (Verse 2) Then footsteps softly crossed the ground, A quiet voice, a familiar sound. I turned around and there you were, Like a memory returning from the blur. A little older, a little changed, But your eyes were still the same. For just a moment time stood still, Like the world had paused at will. (Chorus) After all these years apart, I still recognized your heart. Every dream I carried through Was somehow leading back to you. After all the roads we’ve known, All the places we have gone, Life has brought us here somehow, Standing face to face right now. (Bridge) We spoke of days and things we missed, Of silent hopes that still exist. Of different lives and different years, And quiet smiles behind our tears. (Chorus) After all these years apart, I still recognized your heart. Every dream I carried through Was somehow leading back to you. After all the roads we’ve known, All the places we have gone, Life has brought us here somehow, Standing face to face right now. (Outro) The river flows the way it did, Like time forgives the things we hid. And as the evening settles down, Your hand again is in mine now.
