After All These Years

We've been together a long time now, you and me —
through the proud days and the shameful ones I'd just as soon not see.
And I'll be honest, there were mornings that I wanted to go,
find a quieter kind of place, some easier road.

But you're still the one I'd stand and sing beside,
still the one when the whole house is divided.
The world keeps saying somewhere's greater, somewhere new —
but I'm still, I'm still loving you.
You're still the one.

We quit talking at the table, took our corners, picked our sides,
let the strangers on the screen go and decide how we'd divide.
And I shouted just as loud as anybody, I suppose —
forgot the face I fell for under all the flags and shows.

But you're still the one I'd stand and sing beside,
still the one when the whole house is divided.
The world keeps saying somewhere's greater, somewhere new —
but I'm still, I'm still choosing you.
You're still the one.

Underneath the noise there's a porch, there's a name,
there's a neighbor I don't agree with who'd help me just the same.
Through every season, every reason to go,
you're the only home this heart will ever know.

But you're still the one I'd stand and sing beside,
still the one when the whole house is divided.
The world keeps saying somewhere's greater, somewhere new —
but I'm still, I'm still choosing you.
You're still the one,
you're still the one.

Still the one, after all these years,
still the one, through the anger and the tears...
you're still the one.
