Lyrics
Verse 1
I remember the first day that I saw your face
I wasn't looking for love, I was running my own race
Then you walked in like the sun through the rain
And suddenly my whole life didn't feel the same
I swear the world slowed down that day
Your smile stole every word I couldn't say
And I didn't know then what destiny meant
But Naledi… you were heaven sent
Pre-Chorus
Now I'm driving through the city late at night
And every streetlight brings back your eyes
Chorus
Naledi, Naledi
Girl you were my melody
Front seat riding while I'm driving slow
Looking at me like you already know
Naledi, Naledi
You were where my heart would be
Even though our story had to end
I'd fall for you all over again
Verse 2
I remember those nights when you'd pull up unannounced
Knocking on my door, heart beating loud
And I tried to act cool but you knew the truth
Every surprise visit felt brand new
And girl your scent still lives in my mind
That perfume mixed with your skin so fine
Little things that nobody sees
Like those white painted toes that amazed me
Pre-Chorus
And I swear time froze the third time we met
When you opened your auntie's door and said
Chorus
Naledi, Naledi
Girl you were my melody
Front seat riding while I'm driving slow
Looking at me like you already know
Naledi, Naledi
You were where my heart would be
Even though our story had to end
I'd fall for you all over again
Bridge
Maybe love don't always stay forever
But that don't mean it wasn't real
A whole year loving you, Naledi
Was the sweetest thing I could feel
Sometimes I wish we could rewind time
Back to those midnight drives
Just you and me in the quiet night
With your eyes locked into mine
Final Chorus
Naledi, Naledi
You'll always be a part of me
Every memory plays like a song
Even now when you're gone
Naledi, Naledi
Girl you changed my destiny
And if love ever finds me again
I'll remember where it began…
With you… Naledi
I remember the first day that I saw your face
I wasn't looking for love, I was running my own race
Then you walked in like the sun through the rain
And suddenly my whole life didn't feel the same
I swear the world slowed down that day
Your smile stole every word I couldn't say
And I didn't know then what destiny meant
But Naledi… you were heaven sent
Pre-Chorus
Now I'm driving through the city late at night
And every streetlight brings back your eyes
Chorus
Naledi, Naledi
Girl you were my melody
Front seat riding while I'm driving slow
Looking at me like you already know
Naledi, Naledi
You were where my heart would be
Even though our story had to end
I'd fall for you all over again
Verse 2
I remember those nights when you'd pull up unannounced
Knocking on my door, heart beating loud
And I tried to act cool but you knew the truth
Every surprise visit felt brand new
And girl your scent still lives in my mind

Little things that nobody sees
Like those white painted toes that amazed me
Pre-Chorus
And I swear time froze the third time we met
When you opened your auntie's door and said
Chorus
Naledi, Naledi
Girl you were my melody
Front seat riding while I'm driving slow
Looking at me like you already know
Naledi, Naledi
You were where my heart would be
Even though our story had to end
I'd fall for you all over again
