[Intro]
Yeah, Christina
Twenty years and I still choose you
[Verse 1]
Met you at the Subway, lunch break, nothing planned
You smiled across the counter, changed the map of who I am
Shared a little smoke, let the afternoon unwind
You had that easy kind of magic, I had never seen that kind
We talked beside the station till the last train rolled through
I was trying to play it cool, but I was already stuck on you
From a sandwich and a laugh to a promise in a ring
You turned an ordinary moment into my everything
[Pre-Chorus]
Then I put a uniform on, you held me through the miles
Kept your faith inside my pocket, kept your picture in my files
Every road I had to travel, every night I had to roam
Your name was where my heart was, you were always home
[Chorus]
Christina, you’re the one I come back to
After all these years, I’m still attached to you
Three little hearts, but you’re the rhythm in them all
Twenty years married, still catching my fall
Christina, let me say it plain and true
Every chapter of my life looks better next to you
If I get forever, I know what I’ll do
I’ll spend every minute falling deeper into you
[Verse 2]
We built a life from patience, late bills, and kitchen light
Little shoes beside the doorway, bedtime stories every night
Three kids with your compassion and a little bit of my grin
Watching you love this family makes me love you all again
You know the way I worry, I know the way you sigh
Still you reach across the silence, still you meet me eye to eye
We’ve had the heavy seasons, we’ve had the sweetest days
But every time I hold you, I remember why I stayed
[Pre-Chorus]
You were there before the medals, before the plans were clear
You made a home from distance, you made courage out of fear
Now the years are in our faces, but your touch still feels brand new
The best thing I was ever given was a life with you
[Chorus]
Christina, you’re the one I come back to
After all these years, I’m still attached to you
Three little hearts, but you’re the rhythm in them all
Twenty years married, still catching my fall
Christina, let me say it plain and true
Every chapter of my life looks better next to you
If I get forever, I know what I’ll do
I’ll spend every minute falling deeper into you
[Bridge]
When the house gets quiet and the day lets go
I still see that first smile from so long ago
No grand words needed, no diamond can prove
You’re my closest friend, my desire, my truth
[Final Chorus]
Christina, you’re the one I come back to
Twenty years in, and I’m still crazy about you
Three little miracles, a lifetime in their eyes
You and me together, that’s my favorite life
Christina, let me say it plain and true
There’s nobody in this world I’d rather wake beside than you
Through every new beginning, whatever we go through
I’ll love you always, and I’ll keep choosing you
[Outro]
From that Subway afternoon to this family we grew
Twenty years married, and I’m still choosing you
Christina, always you
