Beloved, I Choose You

[Verse 1]
Your name on the envelope
Shaking hands
I read the words
“Walk with me forever”
Now I’m standing here in this shirt and tie
Watching you come down the aisle
Trying hard not to cry
[Chorus]
My beloved
I choose you
In the quiet
In the chaos
Every room
I will adore you
I will cherish what we’ve grown
Devoted to your heart
To your laughter
To your home
My beloved
My always
My beloved
My own
[Verse 2]
First date
Plastic flowers on the table
You laughed when the candle went out
Said
“Love’s in the little things”
Now it’s coffee rings on Sunday papers
Your sweater on the kitchen chair
Every day
It’s you
It’s you again
[Chorus]
My beloved
I choose you
In the early morning light
In the silver moon
I will adore you
I will cherish what we’ve sown
Devoted to your heart
To your stories
To your hopes
My beloved
My always
My beloved
My home
[Bridge]
You are my safe place
My sweet grace
My partner in every hard day
You are my laughter
My late-night
My forever
My true life
Soulmate of my soul
You make my half feel whole (oh)
[Chorus]
My beloved
I choose you
Every yesterday and every new June
I will adore you
I will cherish as we grow
Devoted to your heart
To your wrinkles
To your glow
My beloved
My always
My beloved
I choose you again
My beloved
My always
My beloved
My friend

Lush acoustic ballad with intimate male vocals, warm piano, and soft string swells. Verses stay close and conversational; chorus lifts with stacked harmonies and a gentle tom build. Subtle pedal steel glides under the bridge for a tender, timeless feel, then everything drops to guitar and voice for the final hook.
