Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Let the bough break, let it come down crashing
Let the sun fade out to a dark sky
I can't say I'd even notice it was absent
'Cause I could live by the light in your eyes
[PreChorus]
I'll unfold before you
Would have strung together
The very first words of a lifelong love letter
[Chorus]
Tell the world that we finally got it all right
I choose you
I will become yours and you will become mine
I choose you
I choose you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
There was a time when I would have believed them
If they told me you could not come true, just love's illusion
But then you found me and everything changed
And I believe in something again
[PreChorus]
My whole heart
Will be yours forever
This is a beautiful start to a lifelong love letter
[Chorus]
Tell the world that we finally got it all right
I choose you (I choose you, I do)
I will become yours and you will become mine
I choose you (I choose you, I do)
I choose you (I choose you)
[Bridge]
We are not perfect, we'll learn from our mistakes
And as long as it takes, I will prove my love to you
I am not scared of the elements, I am under-prepared
But I am willing, and even better
I get to be the other half of you
[Chorus]
Tell the world that we finally got it all right
I choose you, yeah (I choose you, I do)
I will become yours and you will become mine
I choose you (I choose you, I do)
I choose you (I choose you, I do)
I choose you (I choose you)
