Lyrics
Verse 1
Looking in my life
Through the eyes of a young man growing older all the time,
Maybe just a little wiser
I can clearly see
All my mistakes keep coming back to visit me
Pointing out the roads not taken
So much I'd like to change but one thing I'd do the same
Chorus
I'd choose you again, I'd choose you again
If God gave me the chance to do it all again
Oh, I'd carefully consider every choice and then
Out of all the boys in the world
I'd choose you again
Verse 2
Times weren't always good
Seems like the Lord gave all the easy parts away
But every time the road got rocky
You'd look at me and say
Had all you needed long as I was there with you
You're the reason I kept going
If I could start my life anew
The first thing that I would do
Chorus (Repeat)
I'd choose you again, I'd choose you again
If God gave me the chance to do it all again
Oh, I'd carefully consider every choice and then
Out of all the girls in the world
I'd choose you again
Outro
I'd choose you again, I'd choose you again
If God gave me the chance to do it all again
Oh, I'd carefully consider every choice and then
I'd listen to my heart and I'd choose you again
You again, you again

Meaning & Inspiration
"I'd Choose You Again" is a duet built around a simple hypothetical: given the chance to relive life with full knowledge of its mistakes, one thing would remain unchanged, the choice of a spouse. The first verse looks back honestly, admitting mistakes and roads not taken, before landing on the one decision the singer would not revise. A second verse reframes hardship within the marriage as something endured together rather than alone, crediting a spouse's steady presence as the reason for continuing rather than giving up. The song frames that choice explicitly within God's providence, imagining the decision being made again "if God gave me the chance," tying a romantic commitment to a broader trust that the relationship itself was part of a larger plan rather than mere chance. Alternating between a man's and a woman's perspective in the chorus lets both partners voice the same conviction from their own side of the marriage. Built for a duet performance, the song functions as a renewed vow more than a narrative, repeating its central promise until it becomes the settled answer to the song's opening question.
