Lyrics

[Verse 1: Male Vocal – Clayton’s perspective]
When I first saw her smile, I knew I found grace
Not just a beauty, but a heart in the right place
She remembered birthdays, lifted hearts with ease
Turned walls into warmth, and made a home outta peace

She raised our babies with a love so strong
Held it down through the seasons, even when things went wrong
And through the storms, I’d look at her and know
There’s no one else I’d want to share this road

⸻

[Chorus: Male + Female Vocal Harmony]
We keep choosing us, day after day
Even as we grow and time slips away
Not perfect, but faithful, in laughter and fuss
Through every change, we keep choosing us

⸻

[Verse 2: Female Vocal – Angie’s perspective]
He’s quick on his feet, always steady and wise
With rhythm in his walk, and kindness in his eyes
In every tough moment, I ask what he’d do
’Cause his love is a compass that pulls us through

We talk before we act, we build before we leap
Foundations made of trust, promises we keep
He’s more than my partner, he’s the calm in my storm
And after 35 years, our love is still warm

⸻

[Chorus: Full Vocal Harmony]
We keep choosing us, day after day
Even as we grow and time slips away
Not perfect, but faithful, in laughter and fuss
Through every change, we keep choosing us

⸻

[Bridge: Spoken word interlude over soft music – Uncle Clay’s voice]
“Thirty-five years… and I still say, I love you.
We’ve changed, like seasons do… but love—
Love kept showing up for us.
And I’d do it all again, Angie… with you.”

⸻

[Final Chorus: Build-up with harmonies and strings]
We keep choosing us, through joy and pain
Holding on tight through sunshine and rain
Not flawless, but fearless, and always enough
We’re not perfect…
But we keep choosing love.
We keep choosing… us.
