I Chose Right

Context & Lyrics

Danny, a university junior, proposes to his pregnant girlfriend Lizzie.

As I leave my single life behind
Thoughts are kind of spinning in my mind
First I think about you
Then I think about me loving you
Then I think about you and meDeciding we could be one
It’s crazy I know,I wrestled with my pillow all last night
And I look at youAnd I know I chose right
Life’s a very long road
And the crossroads come upRight away
And it’s so hard to know which way to goWhen you’ve barely begun
And Oh, the road you leave behindCan shine so bright
And I look at youAnd I know I chose right
Now maybe we don’t mean that muchYou and I
And maybe our balloon will never fly
And maybe no one cares if we let things go by
And maybe doesn’t matter if we live or die
But if I’m making promises to you today
I wanna know I’ll keep them all the way
So if I’ve not been good at meaning what I say
It’s time now to try
So I think about youAnd I think about me loving you
Then I think of my friends who’ll say they’re in loveWhen they’re just havin’ fun
But I say no no noIf I am gonna love its with all my might
And I will be true,I will follow this throughAnd I look at you
And I know I chose right
