Five Years to Yes

[Verse 1]
You walked into work and your whole world changed,
You asked me to meet you—I turned away.
But five long years, you held your heart true,
While life kept a place that would lead me to you.

[Chorus]
Five years of waiting, one birthday night,
Our colleague brought us back into sight.
After the candles, we started anew—
You said, “Love at first sight. I’ve always loved you.”

[Verse 2]
She invited us both to celebrate,
And somehow that night rewrote our fate.
We left that party, hand in hand,
At last, the moment we both could understand.

[Bridge]
Then came your romantic, beautiful plea,
You asked for forever; I whispered, “Yes.”
The word I had saved through all those years—
A little word that quieted every fear.

[Outro]
You waited for me; now I’m here,
And my answer is yes, year after year.
