TILL MY LAST BREATH (HER ANSWER) [Spoken Intro] Baby... You had me shaking in this little kitchen. You know I don't always find the words. But I heard every single thing you said… Every promise in your voice… Every fear in that long silence. And there's something I need you to know, too. [Verse 1] I watched you pacing by that window Trying hard to play it cool Hands were trembling on that ring box Like we were kids back after school All those dishes on the counter Coffee going cold between You were pouring out your whole life story Like you were laying down a dream You said you’d choose me every sunrise Every hard and holy mile Did you see my heart break wide open When you looked up and saw me smile? You thought that I was still deciding You were scared of what I’d say But I’d already said it in my soul A thousand times a thousand days [Pre-Chorus] So let me answer softly Before another tear can fall [Chorus] Till my last breath Till my last heartbeat You’ll be the man I thank God for Every time you look at me Through every season Through every change If the years take everything else My love for you remains Till my last breath Baby, I’m saying yes to you [Verse 2] You’ve seen me on the hard days When my world turned upside down When my worries filled the tiny spaces And I could barely make a sound You would wrap those arms around me Hold the thunder from my mind You’d make supper in that old black skillet Say, “Take your time, we’ll be just fine.” We’ve had nights we slept back‑to‑back Flooded eyes and quiet pride But we always found the faith to whisper “Come back over to my side.” Every time we stitched us back together Sitting close, just me and you I fell a little deeper in forever Like I was saying yes brand new [Pre-Chorus] So if you’re wondering what I feel After all these passing years I’m right here… And I’m not going anywhere [Chorus] Till my last breath Till my last heartbeat You’ll be the man I thank God for Every time you look at me Through every season Through every change If the years take everything else My love for you remains Till my last breath Baby, I’m saying yes to you [Bridge] (Saxophone rises softly) One day we’ll both have silver hair Lines around these eyes We’ll sit and talk about our story And laugh about the passing time You’ll still lose keys on a Monday I’ll still tease you every time You’ll still burn toast in the morning light I’ll still swear that it tastes just fine And if your voice gets weak someday Or those hands can’t hold like they do Just remember… Nothing shakes me. I’m staying. [Final Chorus] Till my last breath Till my last heartbeat I’ll still be the woman Who stands right here with you Through every sunrise Through every rain If the years take everything else My love for you remains Till my last breath Till my last breath Baby, I’ll always… Always choose you [Outro] (Acoustic guitar softens as saxophone echoes low) You were never just part of my story… You turned my whole world new. Every laugh… Every long night… Every prayer… Every room… When I look back on all my days… My favorite chapter is you. (Soft breath) So when you asked me that question… With your heart there in your hands… I wasn’t searching for an answer… I was remembering all we’ve been. Because I’d choose you again… And again… And again… (Whispered) Yes, baby… Yes. (Music fades)
