Lyrics

I CHOOSE YOU

Knights on white horses, long flowing veils,
Childhood dreams of fairy tales,
Ending happily ever after,
Somehow we loose sight of the laughter.

You get angry and I get cold.
Firing blame, weâ??re both exposed.
Two wounded children frightened and confused,
The only thing we trust is the blues.

Yet when you ask me if I still love you,
From that scared place so deep inside,
I will tell you one more time.
I choose you from all the movie stars on the silver screen.
I choose you from all the pretty faces in the magazines.
I choose you.

Late at night when the fire burns out,
Silence breeds insight into what itâ??s all about.
Time out of body in the heavenly sphere,
Dawns compassion and forgiving tears.

So when you ask me if I still love you,
From that scared place so deep inside,
I will tell you one more time.
I choose you from all the movie stars on the silver screen.
I choose you from all the pretty faces in the magazines.
I choose you.

Marriage is no fairy tale, where perfect people live perfect lives.
Often couples find themselves merely struggling to survive.

So when you ask me if I still love you,
From that scared place so deep inside,
I will tell you yet one more time.
I choose you from all the movie stars on the silver screen.
I choose you from all the pretty faces in the magazines.
I choose you from all the stars that float, float so heavenly.
I choose you. I choose you. I choose you.
