I’d Still Choose You

Lyrics

Intro (Rhodes piano, soft guitar fills) Him (spoken): You remember those Flint nights? Her (smiling): Like they were yesterday… ⸻ Verse 1 (Him) I still see you in that summer light Cruisin’ down Saginaw on a Friday night Radio playin’, dreams in the air Never knew forever was sitting right there Genesee Valley, walkin’ hand in hand Two young hearts making all kinds of plans Didn’t have much, but we had enough Back when life was simple and love was love ⸻ Verse 2 (Her) I remember you in that old GM shirt Talkin’ big dreams while putting in work You’d make me laugh when the days got long Even then I knew where my heart belonged Every little promise you made came true Through every road life took us through The years went fast, but one thing stayed I never stopped falling for you each day ⸻ Pre-Chorus Him: We chased the horizon Her: We followed our hearts Together: Somehow forever was there from the start ⸻ Chorus Together: Those Flint streets feel like yesterday Young hearts trying to find our way Now we’re standing here with a life built for two And I’d still choose you Vegas vows and Tennessee dreams A beautiful daughter and memories If I had one chance to live this life anew I’d still choose you ⸻ Verse 3 (Him) Packed up our dreams and headed south Searching for what life was all about New roads to travel, new memories to make But your hand in mine was all it would take The years rolled by, but you never changed Still got that smile that drives me insane Through every high and every low You’re still my favorite place to go ⸻ Verse 4 (Her) I watched our little girl spread her wings Through all the seasons that life can bring Somehow the years just slipped away But I still feel that same love today We’ve seen hard times and we’ve seen grace But I still see that young man’s face The one I loved way back when And somehow I’d do it all again ⸻ Pre-Chorus Him: We crossed the miles Her: We shared the years Together: Through every laugh and every tear ⸻ Chorus Those Flint streets feel like yesterday Young hearts trying to find our way Now we’re standing here with a life built for two And I’d still choose you Vegas vows and Tennessee dreams A beautiful daughter and memories If I had one chance to live this life anew I’d still choose you ⸻ Bridge (Drums drop out, piano and bass only) Him: Thirty years later I’d still take your hand Her: And I’d still follow you anywhere Him: If I could go back to where it began Her: I’d do it all over again Together: Every road we took led right here ⸻ Final Chorus (Strings swell, harmonies build) Those Flint streets feel like yesterday Young hearts trying to find our way Now we’re standing here with a life built for two And I’d still choose you Vegas vows and Tennessee dreams A beautiful daughter and memories After all these years there’s one thing I know is true I’d still choose you I’d still choose you
