Always You

Lyrics

[Intro] (Ooh...) Yeah... Sometimes God writes the story... Long before we ever read the pages... [Verse 1] We were just kids running through the Southeast Center, Hoops on the court, summer days we'd remember. Crenshaw hallways, passing by, I couldn't hide what was in my eyes. You'd laugh and tell me, "Maybe you should date her instead." Never knew the feelings You were hiding in your head. Life pulled us apart, Different schools, different roads... But Heaven never forgot The place where love would grow. [Pre-Chorus] Every basketball game, Every passing hello... God was planting seeds Neither one of us could know. [Chorus] 'Cause you were always you... Even before I knew. Every road I walked Was leading me to you. Through every wrong turn, Every dream we chased, God was writing forever Before we shared our first embrace. You're my answered prayer, My peace when skies aren't blue. Thirteen years of marriage... And I'd still choose you. [Verse 2] Then Facebook changed everything. One little friend request... Then your message came, And my whole heart stopped. "Oh my gosh... I used to have the biggest crush on you." Girl... You don't know what those words did to me. We laughed... We flirted... Tried to stay away. But some loves Refuse to fade away. [Pre-Chorus 2] The timing wasn't perfect. Neither were we. But sometimes grace Looks like destiny. [Chorus] You were always you... Even before I knew. Every broken road Was leading me to you. When the world got loud, Your love stayed true. Every morning I wake up... I'd still choose you. [Bridge] We've love our sons All three carry our hearts. You made our daughter Yours from the very start. When my mother needed family... You never walked away. You carried all of us With love every single day. I'll never forget The strength inside your smile. You carried us through storms When hope felt miles away. And if I had one thousand lifetimes... I'd spend every one Finding you again. [Breakdown] Remember that Nintendo cartridge? The one that asked you To be my girlfriend... You said yes. Then those little kids Holding signs at the daycare... Asking you to marry me. We dreamed of a Mario wedding... Life had another plan. We spent our wedding money Fighting to bring our little girl home. That's who we've always been... Choosing family. Choosing love. Choosing us. [Final Chorus] You were always home... Even when home felt far away. You've been my laughter, My shelter, My better days. Through every battle, Every tear we've cried... I'd marry you again With these same two hands And these same grateful eyes. Here's to forever... Here's to our story... Here's to every chapter Still waiting to be written. I love you... Yesterday. Today. September twentieth. And every tomorrow after that. Forever... Always you.
