A Year Ago

Song Title / Album / Artist / Time / BPM

Lyrics:

A personal love story turned into song

This song began as a poem I wrote for my partner to celebrate our first anniversary. It tells the story of our very first date — a winter beach picnic filled with laughter and connection — and the love that has grown ever since. Through the ups and downs, we’ve always shown up for each other. A Year Ago is a song about healing through love, finding comfort in each other’s presence, and choosing one another again and again, no matter what life brings.

A Year Ago

A year ago, you stepped into my life
With a handshake and a kiss on my cheek.
I grabbed your hand and held it close to mine,
And could feel my crazy heartbeat.

A picnic on the beach in the wintery cold
With lots of laughter, chestnut and cream.
Walking in the sand with your hand to hold —
It might be something I saw in a dream.

Our first kiss by the road and a coffee invite
Made it soon crystal clear,
That we have here nothing to hide,
And you and I just want to be near.

Through stormy nights and sunny days,
In your love, I find my saving grace.
With every kiss, my heart replays,
The beauty of this sacred place.
So let the world fade away, let time stand still,
In your love, I’ve found my fill.
For all the struggles, all the pain we’ve known,
Led us to each other, where love has grown.

You picked me up and wiped off my tears,
And showed me what love is supposed to be.
I could finally let go of all my fears,
And gave you a safe place to heal.

Some days are hard here,
When the blue sky gets grey,
But my love, do not ever fear,
I came into your life forever to stay.

Through stormy nights and sunny days,
In your love, I find my saving grace.
With every kiss, my heart replays,
The beauty of this sacred place.
So let the world fade away, let time stand still,
In your love, I’ve found my fill.
For all the struggles, all the pain we’ve known,
Led us to each other, where love has grown.
