Always Instead of I Do

Lyrics

[Verse 1] It started with a careless swipe, A little accident one night, You chased me down 'til I gave in, And from that date you moved right in. We built a home, we built a life, Through easy days and heavy nights. [Chorus] And "Always" instead of "I do," We said always when we got married, me and you. Through every season, near and far, I still choose the man you are. Everything will be okay, Long as we've got each other, Christopher, come what may. [Verse 2] We've had our miles inside one room, Words that stung and silence too, Some nights the distance felt so wide, We wondered how we lost the tide. But I don't want it polished clean— I want the real, the in-between. [Chorus] And "Always" instead of "I do," We said always when we got married, me and you. Through every season, near and far, I still choose the man you are. Everything will be okay, Long as we've got each other, come what may. [Bridge] It isn't just one vow you make, It's choosing love for love's own sake, After the arguments and rain, I'd find my way back home again. [Verse 3] I love your heart, the way you give, The steady way you make us live, A working man, a girl's best dad, The finest friend I've ever had. You make me laugh when I resist, Christopher, there's no one I'd rather kiss. [Chorus] So "Always" instead of "I do," I'll say always every morning next to you. Through every version, old and new, I keep on choosing, choosing you. Everything will be okay, Long as we've got each other, love, we'll find our way. [Outro] Grow old with me, let seasons roll, You've got my hand, you've got my whole— I'll keep on choosing, that's my vow, Christopher, I choose you now.
