[Intro] (Grand piano with light strings - intimate, melancholic mood)* [Verse 1] Seemed not too long ago, I saw your face Felt something real I can't erase We were young, but I just knew There was no one else but you Through the years, the yays and the ohs You're the one my heart still knows [Pre-Chorus] And when the days get hard and long I hear your voice, I feel your song You got my back, I got your hand We built this strong, we made a stand [Chorus] Give you my time, my self and loyalty Standing by your side through any reality You are my sunrise, you are my solid ground With you, I have found where I belong Yeah, I'm strong with you, all my life through Babe, my promises are always for you [Verse 2] A little older, we've conquered the change Who would ever doubt it, we still remain And your smile, that still feels new Every worry gone once I look at you They built homes in the sand And know our love is our land [Pre-Chorus] And when the world gets bold n brash Your arms around me, make it last You lean on me, I lean on you Your loyalty, it sees me through [Chorus] Give you my time, my self and loyalty Standing by your side through any reality You are my sunrise, you are my solid ground With you, I have found where I belong Yeah, I'm strong with you, all my life through Babe, my promises are always for you [Bridge] We got a future we can see A mountain tall for you and me No second place, no other kind Just your name upon my mind Every month, season, year It gets made so crystal clear! [Dramatic Guitar Solo] (A 1959 Les Paul Standard replica guitar solo enters with warm, creamy tone and spring reverb. It builds from a gentle, melodic phrase into a soaring, emotional climb, supported by orchestral strings and cinematic percussion. The solo reaches a peak and then falls back, leaving space.) [Key Change] (The song modulates up a full step. Grand piano and strings re-establish the new key with a powerful, uplifting chord. A faint gospel choir hums underneath.) [Final Chorus] (Vocals become full and belted, with melismatic runs at the end of lines.) Give you my time, my self and loyalty! I Stand by your side (and that's) through any reality! You are my sunrise, you are my solid ground! With you, I have found where I belong! Yeah, I'm strong with you, all my life through! Babe, my promises are always for YOU [Outro] (The instrumentation drops away suddenly, leaving only the grand piano playing a soft, repeating chord. The lead singer holds a long, fading note with a clear, controlled vibrato. The note slowly decays into silence. A single, distant wind chime rings and fades.)
