The Clayton River Question

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Summer on the river, water shining gold, A little town called Clayton, and a question brave and bold. You asked me on that boat there, heart wide open, sky so blue, I said give me one more day now, twenty-four to think it through. [Chorus] But love don't need no waiting, love just knows, Through every season, that's the way it goes. You came back the next day, standing sure and true, And I've spent my whole life fallin' deeper into you. [Verse 2] We took two roads together, tied them into one, Your kids and mine around us, and the setting evening sun. We learned to build a family from the pieces that we had, And Bryan, you're the anchor, the steady hand they call their dad. [Chorus] 'Cause love don't need no waiting, love just knows, Through every season, that's the way it goes. You came back the next day, standing sure and true, And I've spent my whole life fallin' deeper into you. [Bridge] Grandkids come running when they hear you at the door, "Poppy Bryan's home now!" — how could I ask for more? Grace upon the water, strength through all the years, A new beginning every morning, laughter through the tears. [Verse 3] So here's to all our chapters, and the ones we've yet to write, To coffee in the mornings and your arms around me tight. If I could choose forever, I'd choose it all with you, Bryan, my forever, still saying "I do." [Chorus] 'Cause love don't need no waiting, love just knows, Through every season, that's the way it goes. You came back the next day, standing sure and true, And I've spent my whole life fallin' deeper into you. [Outro] On that Clayton river, where our story grew, Bryan, my always — I still choose you.
