I'd Choose You First

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Forty-two years and I still see That first glance that got the best of me Some kind of light I couldn't name And nothing since has been the same You walked in and my whole world turned And oh, how slowly, how it burned [Chorus] And if I could start it all again I'd choose you first, I'd choose you then Through every season, every year There's no one else, there's only here No one else, just you and me The only love I'll ever need [Verse 2] We built a home from empty rooms From quiet mornings, whispered tunes Two children with your gentle eyes The truest gift, our sweetest prize We raised them up with all we had And loved them more than words could add [Chorus] And if I could start it all again I'd choose you first, I'd choose you then Through every season, every year There's no one else, there's only here No one else, just you and me The only love I'll ever need [Bridge] Tere, now the workday's done But we are only just begun Lay your tired hands in mine We've got all the time, all the time [Verse 3] So here's to slower afternoons To dancing to our favorite tunes The clock is ours, the days are free Just come and spend them here with me Tere, you're my finest song The place where I have all along [Chorus] And if I could start it all again I'd choose you first, I'd choose you then Through every season, every year There's no one else, there's only here No one else, just you and me The only love I'll ever need [Outro] Tere, take my hand and see Forever's where I'll always be No one else, just you and me
