Since We Were Five

This heartfelt song celebrates a lifelong friendship that began in childhood and endured for ninety years through seasons of laughter, loss, family, heartbreak, and grace. From two children beneath a maple tree with paper cups and a piece of string to two silver-haired friends sitting together at the end of life, the lyrics beautifully capture a bond that was never romantic, but was instead a rare and faithful friendship rooted in loyalty, trust, and unconditional love. They stood beside one another through the deaths of parents, changing families, weddings, children, broken relationships, and the passing of time, never abandoning their place in each other’s lives. As their days grow fewer and their hands grow fragile, their friendship remains young at heart, proving that some connections only deepen with age. At its core, the song is a tender tribute to the extraordinary gift of having someone who has walked beside you since childhood—and a reminder that when the last light fades, a true friend never truly walks alone.
