Story Behind The Song
It starts like a scene you can't forget. A ballroom lit soft and gold, music floating through the air, and two people finding each other in the middle of everything. From the first dance, it wasn't loud or complicated -- it was simple and certain. The kind of moment where you realize you're not just having fun, you're stepping into something that's going to change you.
The song lives in that memory. The laugh at the bad jokes, the kindness shown to family, the little things that make love feel real. Then time does what time does. Distance, days, storms, all the things that try to pull people apart. But the feeling doesn't fade -- it grows. Love becomes something bright and alive, like a sky full of fireflies, still glowing even when the night gets heavy.
You Had Me is a promise wrapped in nostalgia. It's the voice of someone who's waiting, writing, staying loyal, holding onto a moment that proved it was true. Even when they're alone at night, even when tears show up, the memory of that dance keeps them standing.
Because some love doesn't wash away. It doesn't get stolen by time. It just keeps burning, quietly, until they come home.

Lyrics
From the first time I saw you
And we danced around the ballroom
Oh you had me
Oh you had me
When you laughed at my bad jokes
And were kind to my old folks
Oh you had me
Oh you had me and I had you
Love was like a million fireflies
That glowed and flew through the night
Ever day since you stole my heart
This love has grown more alive
I will wait every day
Till you come home to me
There's no length of time
That could steal what's mine
No storm could wash this love away
I will write every night
And I'll cry while I ly awake
Till dreams take me back
To that night that we danced
That love will get me through the day
