I Choose You
You know you are my family
Because we lived together
But I wanted you to all know that
It never could get better
If it were required that I had to chose
My sisters or my brothers
I wouldn’t need to look around
I wouldn’t want any others
Through the smiles and the tears
You’ve stood right next to me
The laughter and the fears
Where else is there to be
All the joys and all the sorrows
Will follow us wherever
The todays and the tomorrows
We can count on for forever
To my family
I wanted you to know
The words have been unsaid too long
It’s time they made their show
Alone we could have made it
Though difficult it would be
If I had to make the choice
I’d choose you to be my family
