TILL YOUR LAST BREATH (HER STORY) [Spoken Intro] Baby... Come sit with me a minute. I don't always find the words. But if there's one truth I carry in my bones... It's you. It's always been you. [Verse 1] I've watched you shoulder heavy storms Never asking for a hand Still reach across this kitchen table Say, "We gon' stick to the plan" It's the little things I live in The ones no one else can see You dancing while you wash those dishes Laughing over coffee and memories And when we disagree sometimes We said we wouldn't let pride win If our voices start to climb too high We breathe it out, then walk back in And when our tired hearts feel ready We sit down and see it through Maybe that's why after all these years I'm still choosing only you [Pre-Chorus] So let me say this softly Before another night goes by [Chorus] Till your last breath Till your last heartbeat I'll be the one who thanks God first Every time you look at me Through every season Through every change If the years take everything else My love for you remains Till your last breath Boy, it'll always be you [Verse 2] I've seen you on the quiet nights When the world felt upside down When worries filled your tired eyes But you still tried not to frown You'd ask me how my heart is Before you let your own pain show That's the kind of love you carry Standing steady in the snow We've had days that cut so deep Times we both needed some space But we never let the hurt decide What our love was born to save And every time we found our way back Sitting face to face again I fell a little deeper for you Like I was meeting my best friend [Pre-Chorus] So if you're wondering where I stand After all these passing years I'm right here... And I always will be [Chorus] Till your last breath Till your last heartbeat I'll be the one who thanks God first Every time you look at me Through every season Through every change If the years take everything else My love for you remains Till your last breath Boy, it'll always be you [Bridge] (Cello and violin rise softly) One day we'll both have silver hair Lines around these eyes We'll sit and talk about this wild life And laugh at how the years fly by I'll still steal covers in the winter You'll still pretend you don't mind I'll still lose my phone and my keys You'll still say, "They're hard to find" And if your voice grows weak someday Or your hands can barely hold Just remember... Nothing shakes this. Nothing. [Final Chorus] Till your last breath Till your last heartbeat You'll still be the man Who means everything to me Through every sunrise Through every rain If the years take everything else My love for you remains Till your last breath Till your last breath Boy, it'll always... Always be you [Outro] (Music falls to warm piano, Rhodes, and low sustained strings) You were never just part of my story... You became the whole thing. Every laugh... Every hard day... Every whisper... Every dream... When I look back on my life... My favorite chapter is you. (Long pause) So before another night goes by... There's one truth I keep inside my heart... I'd choose you again...
