(Gentle piano chords)
Ayanda, my Mbalenhle
Through the shadows and the light
I am here, always here
Ayanda, my beautiful flower
In this quiet room, I count every hour
Life has its storms, the clouds turn to gray
But I promise to stay, come what may
Through every valley and mountain we climb
I’ll hold your hand till the end of time
Oh, Ayanda Mbalenhle, my heartbeat, my soul
In the highs and the lows, you make me whole
Though obstacles rise like the waves in the sea
It’s you and me forever, you’re the one for me
Till death sets us apart, my vow remains true
My life is a journey, and I’m walking it with you
We’ve seen the seasons change, the sun and the rain
Shared all the laughter and carried the pain
Your heart is the anchor that keeps me secure
A love so deep, a love so pure
Eish, the world can be heavy, it’s true
But the weight feels so light when I’m standing with you
Oh, Ayanda Mbalenhle, my heartbeat, my soul
In the highs and the lows, you make me whole
Though obstacles rise like the waves in the sea
It’s you and me forever, you’re the one for me
Till death sets us apart, my vow remains true
My life is a journey, and I’m walking it with you
No distance too far, no shadow too deep
Promises made are promises I keep
Ayanda, my love, my strength, my light
I’m your rock through the day and the night
So let the world spin, let the stars start to fade
I’ll never regret the choices I’ve made
With you by my side, I am home, I am free
Ayanda, my darling, it’s you and it’s me
Oh, Ayanda Mbalenhle, my heartbeat, my soul
In the highs and the lows, you make me whole
Though obstacles rise like the waves in the sea
It’s you and me forever, you’re the one for me
Till death sets us apart, my vow remains true
My life is a journey, and I’m walking it with you
Sharp, my love
We walk until the end
Ayanda Mbalenhle
My wife, my friend, always
