[Intro — Lonely Piano, Soft Cello] Some hearts keep loving long after goodbye. Some dreams are buried before they learn to fly… [Verse 1 — Deep, Tender Female Vocal] You wore your uniform with pride, Counting the days till you'd be free. You promised her a wedding day, A home, a love, a family. But fate arrived without a warning, And illness stole her breath away. Before you ever made it home, Your forever turned to yesterday. [Verse 2 — Gentle Strings Enter] A friend introduced you into my life, You smiled as though your heart might heal. I thought perhaps we'd found a chance, A little love that could be real. But every time we sat together, Your eyes would wander far away. I held your hand, but in your silence, I knew your heart was somewhere else. [Pre-Chorus — Emotional Build] I couldn't fight a memory, Or ask you to forget her name. You never meant to hurt me, But love and longing aren't the same. [Chorus — Powerful Soulful Female Vocal] Oh, to have loved is enough, Even when forever isn't ours. Some promises are lost in time, Some dreams fall like fading flowers. Oh, to have loved is enough, Though every heart must bear its scars. I once loved you, you once loved her, We all believed love would be ours. [Verse 3 — Melancholic Cello Solo] Years went by, I heard your story, You'd opened up your heart again. And somehow I was glad to know You'd found the courage to love again. But she was hiding behind a lie, She took your money, stole your trust. Another dream came crashing down, Another heart was left in dust. [Bridge — Whisper to Emotional Crescendo] I don't blame you for believing, I don't laugh at what you've lost. Love can make the strongest stumble, And every hope can have its cost. If I could turn back all those years, I'd still be glad that we had met. But now I know your distant eyes Held someone you could not forget. [Final Chorus — Full Orchestra, Soaring Vocals] Oh, to have loved is enough, Even when the ending breaks our hearts. Some are taken, some are waiting, Some are torn by love's cruel parts. Oh, to have loved is enough, We were brave enough to try. May you find another sunrise, May your heart learn how to fly. And if forever never comes, If all our dreams return to dust, At least we knew what love could be, At least we dared to hope and trust. [Outro — Soft Piano, Fading Strings] You carried her inside your heart, I carried you inside my memories. And time has taught me something true… Love doesn't always mean forever. Love doesn't always mean we stay. But having loved, With all our hearts… Was never time thrown away.
