Verse One

Walking through the old town, memories in my mind

Every step, every sound, a place I leave behind

Streets are filled with echoes, of laughter and of pain

Time moves on, but the heart remains the same

Chorus

Some fall in love with kisses

Some fall in love with tears

Some fall in love with people

I fall in love with years

Verse Two

Photographs in faded frames, moments frozen still

Stories told by candle flames, memories that thrill

Seasons change and rivers flow, yet some things never die

Love that grows and time that shows, the reasons why we try

ChorusSame as Chorus. Tap to open.

Some fall in love with kisses

Some fall in love with tears

Some fall in love with people

I fall in love with years

Bridge

Time is a gentle thief, taking what it will

Leaves behind the gift of grief, and dreams that linger still

But through the days and endless nights, there's a truth that always clears

While some may fall in love with lights, I fall in love with years

Verse Three

Whispers of forgotten friends, faces lost in time

Letters that I'll never send, words that never rhyme

Yet in the silence of the night, I feel them drawing near

Each moment past, a guiding light, I hold those years so dear

ChorusSame as Chorus. Tap to open.

Some fall in love with kisses

Some fall in love with tears

Some fall in love with people

I fall in love with years

Outro

So as the sun sets on my days, and shadows start to grow

I cherish all the countless ways, the years have helped me grow

For love that's marked by passing time, is love that perseveres

While others seek what's in their prime, I fall in love with years
