I choose you
It's in the way you listen to me
I choose you
It's in the way you challenge me
I choose you
It's in the way you encourage me to be all that I can be
I choose you
It's in the way you bring out the hidden sides of me
I choose you...

For you have a way of giving friendship a whole new meaning
You can't possibly know the joy it gives me
To see a best friend and a lover all rolled into one.
And always seem to know the words I needed to hear-
I've never told you how much it means.
It's in the way you can make me laugh and giggle
And feel like a child
When I'm tired of acting grown-up in this crazy world.
For you have a way of opening my eyes
With you, I realize how much I lose out when I turn a blind eye
How appealing truth is when I allow myself to see it.
And boost me up so I can have a better look
At the world that awaits my everything.
It's in the way you engage my mind
And ask me the questions everyone else are afraid to ask
Never letting me settle for less.
For you have a way of helping me believe in myself
You make me believe I can change the world
With a simple line, an outstretched hand, an open heart.
And never let a self-depreciating remark slide-
It never goes unnoticed, please know I do thank you.
It's in the way you're everything from my fan to my muse
And how you've inspired me from day one
Evolving from a hesitant onlooker, to a supportive friend...to my love.
For the way you draw me closer with your song
How you enflame my heart with passion
And then saturate it with your soothing caress.
And accomplish this by just being you
How you spark my interest like none before.
It's in the way you hold me close
And make me feel like we're the only two people in the world
And I have to doubt I could ever find anything more beautiful than this.
Because there's no way I could not.
