Remember that spring ages ago
You said it with a rose
You were funny and amazing
In one year and one day we held hands
And said it once again
They all thought we were crazy
And maybe we were
But I knew for sure

That I choose you
Nothing is accidental here
And I choose you
Even if the future is unclear
I’ll always come back to these three words, babe:
I choose you

The highway ahead of us is black
The kids sleep in the back
So we tell the truth in whispers
We’re fighting the urge to coast along
But that’s not what I want
And the grass is never greener
Or maybe it is
But it can’t stand up to this:

That I choose you
The answer has never been so clear
That I choose you
I wanna finish what we started here
I’ll always come back to these three words, babe:
I choose you

Don’t ever forget that you’re the one that I would pick
If I had to start over again
It’s the choice I make when I wake up for each new day
So let me say

That I choose you
Through good, the bad, for all my years
I choose you
For the laughter, pain, and happy tears
I’ll always come back to these three words, babe:
I choose you
