I Choose You

I know I just posted lyrics to a song, but I just recently found this one and I am in love with it. I love the message, the lyrics, the music - everything. It is beautiful.

I Choose You - Sara Bareilles

Let the bough break, let it come down: Crash.
Let the sun fade out to a dark sky.
I can't say I'd even notice it was absent,
Cause I could live by the light in your eyes.

I unfold before you
What I've strung together
The very first words, of a life-long love letter.

Tell the world that we finally got it all right.
I choose you.
I will become yours and you will become mine.
I choose you.
I choose you.

There was a time when I would have believed them.
If they told me you could not come true,
just love's illusion.
But then you found me...
And everything changed!
And I believe in something again.

My whole heart,
is yours forever.
This is a beautiful start to a life-long love letter.

Tell the world that we finally got it all right.
I choose you.
I will become yours and you will become mine.
I choose you,
I choose you.

We are not perfect,
 we'll learn from our mistakes,
and as long as it takes I will prove me love to you.
I am not scared of the elements.
I'm under prepared, but I am willing.
And even better....

I get to be the other half of you.

Tell the world that we finally got it all right!
I choose you.
I will become yours and you will become mine.
I choose you.
I choose you
I choose......
you.



I think this song is so beautiful and it tells a lovely story about a girl who is ready and willing to give everything she has and everything she knows to the one she loves. She wants to shout it to the world.  She finally got it right this time! 
I love the line where it says, "Even better... I get to be the other half of you." It makes me smile. She feels so lucky to be spending forever with the one she loves and can't wait to be their other half. She'll knows she can get through anything because they will be together. 
This song helps me realize how lucky and blessed I am to have married the man that I married. He is wonderful. I can't even explain how it feels to love someone so deeply. I am glad I am his other half. 
Anyways! This is my new song obsession.

 
I choose you!
