[Verse 1]
I saw you when the world was young and you were barely grown,
A girl with light behind her eyes I'd follow to the bone,
You laughed before you trusted and you thought before you'd speak,
But Julie, from the moment that I found you, I was weak,
We built our life on ordinary days and steady hands,
On promises we kept because we both knew how love stands.

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh Julie, I was watching when you came into your own,
And everything I loved in life, I loved with you alone.

[Chorus]
You are written in the life we made, the song I'd always play,
A woman full of quiet fire who never looked away,
Your love was never simple but it always held me true,
And every year the universe kept bringing me to you.

[Verse 2]
You gave before they asked you and you stayed when staying cost,
You held the ones who needed you and never counted loss,
There's something in the way you loved that made a house a home,
A warmth that meant that no one near you ever felt alone,
You carried more than I could see and more than you would say,
But Julie, I could always feel it softening the day.

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh Julie, through the seasons and the years that shaped us both,
You were the one I leaned on and the one who kept my growth.

[Chorus]
You are written in the life we made, the song I'd always play,
A woman full of quiet fire who never looked away,
Your love was never simple but it always held me true,
And every year the universe kept bringing me to you.

[Verse 3]
The children came and then they grew and life kept moving fast,
But I'd still see the girl I knew reflected in your laugh,
You never asked for glory and you never chased the noise,
You found your grace in small things and you filled them all with joy,
You met the world with open hands and gave it more than most,
And Julie it was always you who mattered to me most.

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh Julie, what we built together stands in every room,
In every voice we raised together, every shared afternoon.

[Chorus]
You are written in the life we made, the song I'd always play,
A woman full of quiet fire who never looked away,
Your love was never simple but it always held me true,
And every year the universe kept bringing me to you.

[Verse 4]
And now I play this song for you from somewhere you can't see,
But love like ours was never made to end when one goes free,
I'd play for you on winter nights when everything was still,
The notes would fill the room we built and always always will,
You were fifteen when I found you and I knew it even then,
That if the stars gave me a choice, I'd choose you again and again.

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh Julie, what we shared across a lifetime and still more,
Is something even time itself can't reach or close the door.

[Chorus]
You are written in the life we made, the song I'd always play,
A woman full of quiet fire who never looked away,
Your love was never simple but it always held me true,
And every year the universe kept bringing me to you.

[Bridge]
I'm somewhere in the music now, I'm somewhere in the song,
In every quiet melody you've hummed your whole life long,
So hold the ones we raised, dear Julie, hold them close and tight,
And when you hear the accordion, know I'm playing through the night.

[Outro]
So rest in what we built here and in all that you became,
The girl I saw at fifteen and the woman still the same,
I'm somewhere in the music and the memories we made,
And Julie, I am still right here, I haven't gone away.
