[Our January Truth] [ Verse 1 ] It was a rainy Tuesday, outside the Blue Note Cafe You dropped your umbrella, in a clumsy, sudden way When I reached to pick it up, the wind gusted, fierce and fast It flipped your umbrella open, made the water splash We laughed so hard then, the soaking we forgot That first shared moment, where our connection was cast. [ Chorus 1 ] It's not about the riches, not the grand design But choosing you each morning, making you forever mine Through every struggle, through every passing year Like Grandfather's silver watch, keeping every memory near. This love we built, it's steady, strong, and true. [ Verse 2 ] Five years had passed then, in Chicago's winter bite Cramped apartment walls, bathed in dim, ramen light We lived on cheap coffee, and paychecks barely met Chasing distant futures, with no regrets just yet Then one January night, the heater coughed and died The bitter cold crept in, with nowhere left to hide. [ Chorus 2 ] It's not about the riches, not the grand design But choosing you each morning, making you forever mine Through every struggle, through every passing year Like Grandfather's silver watch, keeping every memory near. This love we built, it's steady, strong, and true. [ Bridge ] We huddled close then, shivering, side-by-side Beneath your Grandmother's old quilt with frayed yellow edges, our comfort and our guide Worn soft by years gone past, a quiet, warm embrace In that cold apartment, our love found its true place I didn't care where we were, or what we didn't own Just you beside me, I was finally home. That's when I knew, a truth profoundly deep. [ Final Chorus ] It's not about the riches, not the things we gain, But choosing you each morning, through the joy and pain. Like Grandfather's silver watch, through sunshine, wind, and rain, Our steadfast love, that stands against the strain. [ Outro ] From that rainy Tuesday, to a cold January night Our story's written, in a resilient, fading light Always choosing, always you.
