[Intro]
(Instrumental intro: Acoustic guitar, soft piano, gentle rain sound effect fading in and out)
[Verse 1]
Rain lashed down on a highway dark
Her headlights dimmed, just a fading spark
But somethin' brighter burned inside her soul
A dream of family, makin' herself whole
He should've been home, tucked in tight
But fate kept him workin' through that night
A twist of road, a call he couldn't ignore
God put him right there, outside her door
[Chorus]
Oh, she was young, he was too
Just two lost souls, seein' life through
She dreamed of laughter, a baby's sigh
He said "Never," 'til he looked her in the eye
Guided by an angel, meant to meet
On that rain-soaked, lonely street
Two paths converged where the headlights gleamed
Startin' a journey, just like they dreamed
[Verse 2]
He was set against it, kids? "No way"
But her gentle hope just wouldn't sway
She showed him somethin' worth buildin' for
Opened a heart he'd barricaded the door
Twenty long years, the road got rough
Times were plenty hard, times were tough
But side by side, they weathered every storm
Two kids grew tall, took their own form
[Chorus]
Oh, she was young, he was too
Just two lost souls, seein' life through
She dreamed of laughter, a baby's sigh
He said "Never," 'til he looked her in the eye
Guided by an angel, meant to meet
On that rain-soaked, lonely street
Two paths converged where the headlights gleamed
Livin' the journey, just like they dreamed
[Bridge]
The youngsters are grown, found their own light
Mom and Dad show 'em how to do it right
Through broken roads, they found their way
The journey's not over, it's a brand new day
She loves the mountains, the ocean's roar
He loves the porch swing, watchin' the door
But when she points the car towards the sun
He packs his bag, says "Lead on, hon"
[Chorus]
Oh, she was young, he was too
Just two lost souls, seein' life through
She dreamed of laughter, a baby's sigh
He said "Never," 'til he looked her in the eye
Guided by an angel, meant to meet
On that rain-soaked, lonely street
Two paths converged where the headlights gleamed
Still on the journey, just like they dreamed
[Outro]
(Instrumental swell: Gentle guitar and piano reprise the chorus melody, fading slowly with a final soft piano chord and distant rain sound)
...Guided by an angel... meant to be...
(Fade out completely)
