Lyrics
Intro
I remember the day you turned eighteen,
Forbidden love, or so it seemed,
Your smile lit up my darkest dream,
But nothing ever came to be.
Verse 1
Now fifteen years have slipped away,
Time has its toll, yet here you stay,
You’ve grown into a life so fine,
A mother’s heart, a light divine.
Oh Madeleine, I see you now,
A beauty, grace, I don't know how,
That fire from back in younger days,
Still burns in such familiar ways.
Chorus
Madeleine, my heart still aches,
For love we never dared to take,
But now I see you, oh so clear,
The years have brought you even near.
Verse 2
You've built a life, a love, a home,
A strength in you that stands alone,
And now as fate would bring us near,
I see the mother, strong and dear.
But still my heart recalls the past,
The love that could but never last,
And yet you're here, in front of me,
A dream revived, a memory.
Chorus
Madeleine, my heart still aches,
For love we never dared to take,
But now I see you, oh so clear,
The years have brought you even near.
Outro
Fifteen years, a glance, a spark,
You’ve been the light within my heart,
A love that time can never break,
Madeleine, it’s you I’ll always
