I once drew maps of distant shores,
Slept with boots by a half-packed door.
Swore I'd chase the coast, never stay,
But then your laughter led the way.
I dreamt of living by ocean blue,
But I'm loving life, landlocked with you.
Dreams and tides, they rise and slide,
But fade away if you're not by my side.
So we toast our days with wine and song,
Growing older and holding strong.
I missed some calls I meant to make,
Wrote songs for dreams I didn't take.
You found me lost and feeling off-course,
Showed me roots aren't chains, but a deeper force.
Traded the highway for your warm embrace,
And found my heaven in this quiet place.
I dreamt of living by ocean blue,
But I'm loving life, landlocked with you.
Dreams and tides, they rise and slide,
But fade away if you're not by my side.
So we toast our days with wine and song,
Growing older and holding strong.
Still feel the pull when gulls fly low,
Tales of salt in the breezes blow.
But love like ours won't fade or fold—
Worth more than the path I never rode.
You're the harbor for all our plans,
The one who truly understands.
I dreamt of living by ocean blue,
But I'm loving life, landlocked with you.
Dreams and tides, they rise and slide,
But fade away if you're not by my side.
So we toast our days with wine and song,
Growing older and holding strong.
And if the waves still call my name,
I'll smile and stay just the same.
With your hand in mine, the dream came true—
I found my home when I found you.
