My Best Decision

Nineteen eighty-nine, we met out after school

Two young hearts and a whole lot left to prove

You say you looked at me and knew right away I don’t

remember meeting you, but I remember what you’d say

We were best friends before we knew

What best friends sometimes become We tried love a couple times

Then decided we were done

We were busy chasing futures

With our heads inside our books

But when you stopped reaching for me That’s when I finally took

a look

And I thought about a life without you And I knew I

couldn’t do it

I couldn’t picture one more day If you weren’t living through it

So I found my way back to you And I’ve never turned

around

You were the best decision I ever made And the best thing

I ever found Nineteen ninety-three,

that backyard summer day

Ninety-eight degrees, but we didn’t care anyway

A little bit of sweat,

a whole lot of love And two people promising they’d never give

it up

Then came three beautiful children

And the life we built with time

You worked so hard to give us everything While I was home

raising mine

We’ve slept beneath the stars

We’ve walked through mountain air

We’ve traveled roads to places Neither one of us had been before

And every time I look beside me

You’re still the one I want to see The world could give

us anything

But you’re enough for me

So here’s to every road ahead

Every sunrise we can share

To growing old and laughing still And knowing you are there

If I had to choose all over again I’d choose you every

time

My best friend, my love,

my home Since nineteen eighty-nine
