From the recording I'd Choose You
Lyrics
I’d Choose You - Matthew Nelson Price - lyrics
Get your lunches and your hugs and kisses
Your momma loves you. Whose backpack is this?
Here comes the bus.
We were raised on pennies and peanut butter
But I’m convinced that no kid ever
Was better off than us.
Mom, I know that you’re not perfect
But your love always shines through
I didn’t get to choose who my mom is
But if I did, I’d choose you.
You’ve always loved our family traditions
Those fancy German dishes
You and dad brought back from when he was deployed
Eating cheese fondue and if you lose the bread
Men have to buy the next
Bottle of wine, ladies kiss the man of their choice
Will it be dad or one of us boys?
I know that you’re not perfect
But your love always shines through
I didn’t get to choose who my mom is
But if I did, I’d choose you.
Life hasn’t turned out like we expected
Losing Dad like that
Me still sifting through my divorce
I’m just glad we can talk like this together
I’ll love you forever
And I’ve never doubted I have yours.
I know that you’re not perfect
But your love always shines through
I didn’t get to choose who my mom is
But if I did, I’d choose you.
Mom, if I did, I’d choose you.
