When we were young we learned life’s lessons side by side
The struggles of each day eased by the comforts shared at night
Sometimes you disappointed me; so many times I let you down
We discovered we could disagree and still find some common ground
But the most important thing I learned to do
Is to start each day choosing to love you
More than a warm reflection of momentary passion
More than a heartfelt emotion or a lifetime of devotion
In the best of times and the worst deciding to put our love first
Loving you is a choice I make as I rise to meet each day
I choose to love you, I choose to love you
The years passed as we made a family and home
Opportunities offered up—we claimed them for our own
The precious gift of children taught us the lesson of sacrifice
Found there was nothing more fulfilling than being a special part of their lives
But the most important thing I learned to do
Is to start each day choosing to love you
More than a warm reflection of momentary passion
More than a heartfelt emotion or a lifetime of devotion
In the best of times and the worst deciding to put our love first
Loving you is a choice I make as I rise to meet each day
I choose to love you, I choose to love you
We’ve shared our hopes and chased our dreams
Became best friends and an awesome team
And the most important thing I learned to do
Is to start each day choosing to love you
More than a warm reflection of momentary passion
More than a heartfelt emotion or a lifetime of devotion
In the best of times and the worst always deciding to put our love first
Loving you is a choice I make as I rise to meet each day
I choose to love you, I choose to love you
