I Choose You

Have you guys heard this song? It’s by Sara Bareilles, an American singer-songwriter. The song's been around for quite a while (it was released in January 2014) but I first heard it on the radio a few weeks back. So what if I’m not exactly up-to-date where pop or any other kind of music is concerned. I swear you guys, I think this song is A-MA-ZING!

Even after listening to it over and over again, I seem to never get enough. It’s like what shopping does to a shopaholic, I’m hooked big time!

For one thing, I sooo love the lyrics, especially the chorus. Let me sing write it for you *clears throat*:

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

Cool, right? I’m normally not a sucker for pop ballads but this one’s different. The melody is catchy and puts you in a good mood instantly. On top of that, the singer's smoky vocals match the tune perfectly.

Since the song is making me feel all generous this rainy Friday evening, I’m gonna share it with you, full lyrics included. Have a listen, pick up that imaginary mic and sing along with Sara (I know you want to!). And oh, don’t forget to thank me later when you are seriously addicted! *grins*

Lotsa Luv

 

"I Choose You"

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

I'll unfold before you
What I've strung together
The very first words
Of a lifelong love letter

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)

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

My whole heart
Will be yours forever
This is a beautiful start
To a lifelong love letter

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

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

Tell the world that we finally got it all right
I choose you
Yeah
I will become yours and you will become mine
I choose you
I choose you
I choose you
