Every Lifetime, I'd Still Choose You

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Just out of high school, summer in my eyes A friend's introduction, no goodbyes He had no one coming, no one to see But something in his smile felt like home to me Every single day until the day he flew A letter came back saying, "I want a life with you" [Chorus] Through every storm and every mile Through every tear and every smile You've been my rock, my fighter, my friend The love I'd choose again and again Thirty years of holding tight Neale, you are my whole life [Verse 2] Three weeks engaged in my mama's backyard Family and flowers, nothing too hard You took my boy as your very own Loved him before he was even grown A little blue truck and a simple "I should" And baby, I said you sure should [Chorus] Through every storm and every mile Through every tear and every smile You've been my rock, my fighter, my friend The love I'd choose again and again Thirty years of holding tight Neale, you are my whole life [Bridge] Parking lot trades in the dead of night Our boy in the hospital, you held me tight You ran back through the fire for your men That's just who you've always been [Verse 3] You wished for a family like the ones on screen But baby, we built something more than a dream Real and rugged, beautiful and true Every lifetime, I'd still choose you The lover, the fighter, the steady, the brave Neale, you are everything I'd save [Chorus] Through every storm and every mile Through every tear and every smile You've been my rock, my fighter, my friend The love I'd choose again and again Thirty years of holding tight You are my whole life [Outro] I did, I do, I always will In every lifetime, I love you still
