Alfred & Corina's 42nd Anniversary

[Verse 1]
Some love comes in like lightning,
Some love takes its time to grow,
Ours began at Lackland,
Two young airmen in tech school rows,
We didn't start out falling,
But look how far we'd go

[Chorus]
You chose me, and I chose you,
Through every storm the years put us through,
On my worst days you held on true,
Forty-two years and I still choose you,
With faith to guide us, hope in view,
Love, I still choose you

[Verse 2]
England skies and Florida sun,
Germany and Dakota plains,
Colorado Springs, Wyoming duty,
Carolina's summer rains,
Twenty-one years you served with honor,
Alfred, through it all you never changed

[Chorus]
You chose me, and I chose you,
Through every storm the years put us through,
On my worst days you held on true,
Forty-two years and I still choose you,
With faith to guide us, hope in view,
Love, I still choose you

[Bridge]
You taught me how to love,
I taught you how to wait,
My crazy heart, your patient arms,
God knew we'd find our way

[Verse 3]
Remember those long drives out west,
Dakota to the California coast,
Our boys asleep in the back seat,
Singing songs we loved the most,
Now five grandkids fill our table,
Two good sons who bear your name,
Alfred, thank you for choosing us,
I'd choose you all again

[Chorus]
You chose me, and I chose you,
Through every storm the years put us through,
On my worst days you held on true,
Forty-two years and I still choose you,
With faith to guide us, hope in view,
Forever, I still choose you

[Outro]
We didn't start in love, my dear,
But we're ending in it, true,
Thank you for choosing us,
Alfred, I still choose you
