Let's take it back to the days when we were just kids
Running around the neighborhood, keeping feelings hid
We were always tight, yeah, the closest of friends
But I was hoping that the story wouldn't end
Just there—I wanted more than a casual vibe
I kept the secret locked away, deep down inside
But we both knew the energy was pulling us close
The girl I grew up with is the one I love most
ChorusLillian, when I look in your beautiful eyes
I see a woman working hard, always on the rise
You’re a loving friend, a mother shining so bright
And I’ll always stand beside you through the dark and the light
Yeah, I’ll always stand beside you through the dark and the light
Verse 2I watch you put the work in, heavy on the grind
But you never leave the people that you care for behind
A loving friend, always knowing exactly what to say
And as a mother, you're amazing in every single way
It’s a beautiful thing, watching how your heart gives
You pour your spirit into every single day that you live
And after all of those years of just playing it cool
I’m so grateful that I finally get to be with you
ChorusLillian, when I look in your beautiful eyes
I see a woman working hard, always on the rise
You’re a loving friend, a mother shining so bright
And I’ll always stand beside you through the dark and the light
Yeah, I’ll always stand beside you through the dark and the light
BridgeWe crossed the line we were walking back then
Traded in the title of just being a friend
Now it’s me and you, building up the life that we chose
From the secrets as kids to the way the love grows
Final ChorusLillian, when I look in your beautiful eyes
I see a woman working hard, always on the rise
You’re a loving friend, a mother shining so bright
And I’ll always stand beside you through the dark and the light
Yeah, I’ll always stand beside you for the rest of my life
