[Intro – soft acoustic, light twinkle sound like festival lights]
Under lavender lights…
In a field full of stars and nerves and night…
I reached in my sock, with a trembling hand —
Not how I planned…
But life never goes how you planned.
⸻
[Verse 1 ]
She got nervous — took a step away,
Never been proposed to, not in that way.
Crowds, lights, and that quiet stare,
I forgot my words — just froze mid-air.
But she came back, heart racing too…
And I knew, without saying it, “I choose you.”
⸻
[Chorus – full band kicks in]
Lavender lights, and a kiss that said more,
Than any speech or rose on the floor.
We made a quiet promise, but the fire was loud,
In the middle of fear, love still found us somehow.
Claudia, I choose you — in every dark and bright hue.
⸻
[Verse 2 – heavier tone, steady rock rhythm]
You pull me back when I’m losing ground,
Lift the weight when no one’s around.
You guard the kids like a lion queen,
While I’m out here chasing every broken dream.
Ray, Stella, Maxwell and baby Arthur too —
They’ve got your heart, and I’ve got you.
⸻
[Bridge – stripped down, emotional, slow build]
I’ll wear every face —
Worker, fighter, a dad in the race.
Take the long shifts, wear the pain,
If it means they smile in the rain.
And when the food stamps run out — we’ll laugh and cook rice,
Because even broke, this life with you is nice.
⸻
[Final Chorus – full energy, vocals soaring]
Lavender lights, and a ring in a sock,
A shaky “yes” that time forgot.
But love don’t need the perfect line,
It just needs your hand in mine.
Claudia, I choose you — again, again, and again… it’s true.
⸻
[Outro – slow fade, clean guitar, whispered tone]
One day, when the noise dies down…
You’ll be my wife, in a second-hand gown.
Not for show, not for shine…
But because you’re already mine.
Lavender lights…
And a promise that still shines.
