Still The One I Choose | Elias Warm

Still The One I Choose by Elias Warm A candlelit room, two people who've weathered every storm together, hands intertwined across a table worn smooth by decades of living. This song is the quiet, unshakeable kind of love — the kind that doesn't shout, it simply stays. ── Lyrics ── I've been watching the morning come in through the curtains The same way it did on the very first day And everything changes, but nothing that's certain Has ever once asked me to look away I see the silver that's threading your hair now The way that you laugh at the things that you said How time leaves its mark but it doesn't compare to The life that still burns in your eyes when we're led Out onto the porch in the cool of the evening Your hand finds my hand the way rivers find sea I never knew love could feel more like believing Than something I found — it's the something that freed me And I don't need a photograph to remind me Of all of the places that you and I've been Every wrinkle and scar tells a story worth keeping And I'd live every chapter again I want to grow old beside you Watch the seasons turn slow, let the good years roll through Every grey sky and gold sky, I'm right here beside you Still the one I choose Still the one I choose We've danced in the kitchen through arguments, silence We've held onto something most people let go Built something stronger from every last fragment Of all the hard winters we learned how to know You carry my sorrows like they were your own ones You hand me my courage when mine runs too thin And somewhere between where we started and now, love I found out that you are the whole world within So let the young ones chase after the sunrise We've already learned what the sunrise becomes The light doesn't fade when you know what you're living for Baby, our best days aren't done I want to grow old beside you Watch the seasons turn slow, let the good years roll through Every grey sky and gold sky, I'm right here beside you Still the one I choose Still the one I choose When the children have gone and the house gets quieter When the mirror reflects what the years leave behind I'll reach for your hand in the dark and I'll find you The way I have found you a thousand good times Let the world keep on turning, I'm not in a hurry There's nowhere on earth I would rather be than Right here in this moment with you, love, unhurried Growing old is a gift when it's given to them I want to grow old beside you Watch the seasons turn slow, let the good years roll through Every grey sky and gold sky, I'm right here beside you Still the one I choose Still the one I choose So here's to the grey and the soft morning stillness The coffee gone cold while we talked through the dawn Here's to the love that just keeps getting fuller Here's to us, love — still holding on #soulfuladultcontemporarypop #modernrbballad #neosoul #warmgrandpiano #lushstrings #softlivedrums #slowtomidtempo #richwarmsoulfulmalevocal #cleanleadvocal #noadlibs
