I Still Choose You

[Verse 1] Chicago smile, you still got that glow, All these years and you still move slow. I was young, didn’t know what love could be, You saw somethin’ deeper than I could see. From late-night talks to a house full of dreams, From kids in our arms to in-between. And even now when the world moves fast, Girl, when I see you… I’m right back. [Pre-Chorus] ’Cause love don’t fade when it’s real like this, It just learns new ways to exist. Every line on your face tells truth— Time made me better at loving you. [Chorus] After all this time, after all we’ve been through, When the room goes quiet, I still want you. Through the years, through the change we grew into, The miracle is… I still choose you. Not just forever, not just when it’s new, But tonight, and tomorrow… I still choose you. [Verse 2] We done seen hard days come and go, Held each other close when the answers got low. You kept your heart where our family lives, Gave more love than this life can give. Asia, Thomas, London — all grown from us, Every sacrifice, every ounce of trust. And after everything we made it through, I still look at you like I used to do. [Pre-Chorus] ’Cause love ain’t loud, it’s a quiet flame, Still burnin’ steady after all this change. And if I had every chance brand new, I’d walk this whole life back to you. [Chorus] After all this time, after all we’ve been through, When the room goes quiet, I still want you. Through the years, through the change we grew into, The miracle is… I still choose you. Not just forever, not just when it’s new, But tonight, and tomorrow… I still choose you. [Bridge] (intimate, almost whispered) Let the candles burn down slow tonight, No past, no pressure, just you and I. You made a home out of broken days, Loved me in a thousand quiet ways. And if love is measured by what survives, Then ours is forever alive. [Final Chorus – Lift] After all this time, after all we’ve been through, When the world falls away, I come back to you. Through the years, through the truth we grew into, The miracle is… I still choose you. Yeah, I’d find you again if this life was new, Every lifetime… I still choose you. [Outro] Happy Valentine’s, baby… still yours.
