The Long Road to Love Lyrics

We met in high school, young hearts in the hall

Graduation came, and we answered love's call

Together for a year, then he looked me in the eye

Said, "We'll marry in 12 years, but for now, say goodbye"

His words hit hard, I was left in a daze

But he spoke of growth, in a million different ways

We parted ways, but stayed in touch through the years

Navigating love, through laughter and tears

Oh, the long road to love, winding and tough

Through heartbreaks and healing, when times got rough

We promised forever, but took a detour

And found our way back, to love's open door

He had his romances, and I had mine

But his girlfriends' jealousy, was a constant sign

He'd remind me often, "You're the one, you'll see"

Though we lived our own lives, his heart stayed with me

Years went by, fate had plans of its own

At a party we met again, both tired and alone

He was ending a romance, I was breaking free

In that moment, we knew, it was meant to be

Oh, the long road to love, winding and tough

Through heartbreaks and healing, when times got rough

We promised forever, but took a detour

And found our way back, to love's open door

We built a family, with two kids in tow

Twenty years together, watching love grow

But life has its seasons, and sometimes we part

Yet the memories linger, deep in the heart

Oh, the long road to love, winding and tough

Through heartbreaks and healing, when times got rough

We promised forever, but took a detour

And found our way back, to love's open door

Now we're apart, but the story's not done

In the book of our lives, we've only just begun

With lessons of love, and memories to share

Our hearts remain connected, in the love we still bear
