Verse 1 We don’t need roses scattered on the floor, Or candlelight like we had before, We’ve learned the language of quiet days, Of honest words and gentle ways. We’ve seen the storms, we’ve felt the rain, Held each other through the pain, And somewhere in the in-between, We built a love both strong and clean. Pre-Chorus No fairy tales, no grand disguise, Just steady hands and open eyes. Chorus And I still choose you, Valentine, Not just for hearts and sugared wine, But for the mornings, plain and true, For every gray sky we’ve walked through. No fireworks, no grand display, Just love that grows in its own way, After all we’ve been through — I still choose you. Verse 2 We laugh about the things we’ve learned, The bridges crossed, the pages turned, We know the cost of holding on, We know what stays when youth is gone. Your hand fits mine like it always did, No need for promises overbid, Just quiet vows in everyday, In simple acts that choose to stay. Pre-Chorus No perfect lines, no polished rhyme, Just two hearts keeping time. Chorus And I still choose you, Valentine, Not just for cards and dinner wine, But for the silence we can share, For knowing someone’s always there. No borrowed dreams, no masquerade, Just love that time has gently made, After all we’ve grown into — I still choose you. Bridge So let the young ones chase the stars, We’ve found our light in who we are. No need to prove, no need to race, We’ve carved our love in time and space. And every year on this one day, We smile the same familiar way. Final Chorus (Soft / Big Finish) Yes, I still choose you, Valentine, Through every fault and fault of mine, Through silver strands and slower dances, Through second thoughts and second chances. No fading spark, no overdue, Just love that’s deep and tried and true — On every February fourteenth, too, I still, I always… choose you.
