"Through The Years" is a love song issued in 1981 performed by Kenny Rogers, produced by Lionel Richie and written by Steve Dorff and Marty Panzer.

The song looks back at a relationship "Through The Years" and mentions the ups and downs, but the singer proclaims to his loved one "I'm so glad I stayed right here with you through the years".

Included on Rogers' 1981 Share Your Love album it charted in both the country (#5) and pop (#13) charts during late-1981/early '82 but had it strongest showing in the album-oriented rock chart, where it reached #1, with Rogers often crediting "Through The Years" as one of his career songs, facts backed up in the sleeve notes of his 2006 compilation album "The Number One Hit's", just one of the countless number of strong selling compilations the song has appeared on, which have sold millions of records around the world.
