2006

(Verse 1) Ocean breeze, salty air, summer of '06 Eleven years old, didn't know love's embrace yet Then you walked by, cheeks turned red, my heart skipped a beat Twelve years old, sunshine smiles, on the sandy retreat (Chorus) Two days of laughter, building castles in the sun Sharing secrets, whispered dreams, a child's love begun You said tomorrow, you had something to declare But then chaos struck, passport taken, leaving you with despair (Verse 2) No Facebook, no phones, just your name in my head Years went by, memories faded, a forgotten word unsaid Fast forward to sixteen, a heartbreak's bitter sting Searching for solace, through old classmates, a familiar name would bring (Chorus) Facebook frenzy, adding strangers, a desperate hope Then New Year's Eve, a message popped, a spark to ignite and cope Hours flew by, stories shared, a connection so strong You spoke of a girl, stolen passport, a love untold in a song (Bridge) My breath caught, a shiver ran down, could it be true? The beach, the goodbye, a five-year-old you Sharing the secret, disbelief in your eyes Then a picture emerged, a blurry beachfront prize (Chorus) Mom's camera captured, a memory preserved Two kids by the water, a promise undeserved Two days later, we met again, not children anymore But the spark still burning, a love we'd explore (Bridge) My breath caught, a shiver ran down, could it be true? The beach, the goodbye, a five-year-old you Sharing the secret, disbelief in your eyes Then a picture emerged, a blurry beachfront prize (Chorus) Facebook frenzy, adding strangers, a desperate hope Then New Year's Eve, a message popped, a spark to ignite and cope Hours flew by, stories shared, a connection so strong You spoke of a girl, stolen passport, a love untold in a song (Chorus) Mom's camera captured, a memory preserved Two kids by the water, a promise undeserved Two days later, we met again, not children anymore But the spark still burning, a love we'd explore (Bridge) My breath caught, a shiver ran down, could it be true? The beach, the goodbye, a five-year-old you Sharing the secret, disbelief in your eyes Then a picture emerged, a blurry beachfront prize (Outro) Seven years have blossomed, from that seaside plight A stolen passport, a chance encounter, setting our love alight Forever grateful, for fate's twist of the tide The summer of '06, where our forever began to confide
