I can't remember when you weren't there
When I didn't care for anyone but you
I swear we've been through everything there is
Can't imagine anything we've missed
Can't imagine anything the two of us can't do
Through the years, you've never let me down
You've turned my life around
The sweetest days I've found, I've found with you
Through the years, I've never been afraid
I've loved the life we've made
And I'm so glad I stayed right here with you
Through the years
Beyond the lyrics, the musicality of the song also plays a crucial role in its emotional power. The song is carried on a slow, melodic tune that mimics the gentle rhythm of a heartbeat. The slow tempo conveys a sense of patience and resolve, emphasizing the idea that love is a journey, not a destination.
Kenny Rogers’ iconic country ballad, “Through The Years” has been a favorite among lovebirds and music enthusiasts alike. Its soulful words and touching melody have moved countless listeners over the years.
“Through The Years” was released in 1982 as part of Kenny Rogers’ album, “Share Your Love.” The song was written by Steve Dorff and Marty Panzer, two of the most renowned songwriters at the time.
It is said that Dorff had been going through some personal troubles when he wrote the song. He was going through a divorce and missed his kids desperately. Panzer, on the other hand, was struggling to come up with the perfect lyrics to fit Dorff’s tune.
According to an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Panzer revealed that he was inspired by a photo hanging in his den of his grandparents on their 50th wedding anniversary. The photo had been taken “when he was a little boy and his grandparents appeared so much more romantic than the younger couples at the party.”
