John

[Verse 1]
Three months I made him wait around
Before I let my heart back down
A baseball game, a summer sky
The quiet boy with teasing eyes
I didn't know that night I'd see
The man who'd build a life with me

[Chorus]
If God gave me a chance to start again
I'd walk that same road, I'd choose the same friend
Through every season, every storm we knew
My love, I'd always choose you
Yes, I'd always choose you

[Verse 2]
He gives his hands to honest work
An engineer, he builds, he serves
He raised our Jackie, raised our Jono
Taught them faith and how to grow
And in his arms, our home was made
A quiet strength that never fades

[Chorus]
If God gave me a chance to start again
I'd walk that same road, I'd choose the same friend
Through every season, every storm we knew
My love, I'd always choose you
Yes, I'd always choose you

[Bridge]
And now there's Wesley in his lap
A grandson's laugh, a love that maps
The story of a steady heart
That's been my home right from the start

[Verse 3]
Almost forty years come round
Still the same sweet, holy sound
John, you've been my faith, my fire
My quiet song, my soul's desire
And if the years could rewind true
I'd run again, straight back to you

[Chorus]
If God gave me a chance to start again
I'd walk that same road, I'd choose the same friend
Through every season, every storm we knew
My love, I'd always choose you
Yes, I'd always choose you

[Outro]
John, my forever, my devoted one
Our story's only just begun
I'd choose you, love — I'd always choose you
