I’m gonna love you

Intro (Spoken / Soft Guitar / Soft acoustic guitar, slow tempo, light wind chime sound)

They say love’s just a word…

‘til the nights get heavy and the days fall apart.

‘Til you find someone worth stayin’ for,

Even when stayin’ hurts.

So before the storms, before the scars, before the goodbye roads…

This is my promise —

Verse 1

When the sun don’t shine on your side of town,

When your faith gets lost and your heart breaks down,

When the nights feel longer than the open road,

And you’re carryin’ pain that nobody knows,

I’ll be the light in your darkest view,

Baby, whatever comes, I’m gonna love you.

Verse 2

If the world turns cold and you lose your way,

If your dreams fall apart and your sky turns gray,

If you’re tired of fighting, tired of trying,

Tired of hoping, tired of crying,

I’ll be standing right here, tried and true,

No matter what happens, I’m gonna love you.

Chorus 1

I’m gonna love you when the storms roll in,

I’m gonna love you through thick and thin,

When the road gets rough, when the sky turns blue,

When it’s me against the world and the world against you,

Even when your heart don’t know what to do,

Yeah, even then… I’m gonna love you.

Verse 3

If you walk away just to find your soul,

If you need that space just to feel whole,

If you disappear like a setting sun,

Chasin’ answers you never found,

I won’t curse your name, I won’t push or fight,

I’ll love you in silence, I’ll love you in light.

Verse 4

If you come back broken, scared, and changed,

With a different smile and a different pain,

I won’t ask where you’ve been or what you’ve done,

I’ll just thank God you came back home,

‘Cause love ain’t pride, and love ain’t proof,

It’s standing here saying, “I still choose you.”

Chorus 2

I’m gonna love you when you’re not okay,

I’m gonna love you when you fade away,

When your heart’s a war and your mind’s confused,

When you don’t love yourself like you used to do,

Even if you leave, even if you’re gone,

I’m gonna love you… I’m gonna love you on.

Verse 5

Years from now when our hair turns gray,

When our voices crack and our knees can’t pray,

When time writes lines on your beautiful face,

I’ll still see the girl that stole my faith,

From the first “hello” to the last “goodnight,”

You’ll be my forever, you’ll be my life.

Bridge

Love ain’t perfect, love ain’t clean,

It’s broken hearts and in-betweens,

It’s holding on when it’s hard to stay,

It’s choosing forever anyway,

So if the whole world falls apart,

I’ll build a home inside your heart.

Instrumental (Rock Break)

Electric guitar solo — slow build into powerful rock riff,

drums kick heavy, bass driving,

Southern rock energy with emotional lead guitar melody

Final Chorus (Repeat/Outro)

I’m gonna love you when the storms roll in,

I’m gonna love you through thick and thin,

When the road gets rough, when the sky turns blue,

When it’s me against the world and the world against you,

Even when your heart don’t know what to do,

Yeah, even then…

Even then…

I’m gonna love you.
