We met some years ago, but it took a little while
Before I really got to know the man behind the smile
It started with a field trip, I asked you to come along
Soon we were spending hours laughing, feeling like we belong
Just enjoying each other, taking it day by day
That funny, lovable heart of yours stole my breath away
ChorusJohn, you're my forever, my ultimate ride or die
My favorite person in this life, I couldn't leave you if I tried
Wise and so protective, the safest place I know
No matter what life throws our way, I'm never letting go
Through everything we've weathered and all we've put each other through
A thousand times over, I would still choose you
Verse 2I remember finding out a baby was on the way
We were so scared and nervous, didn't know what to say
But we made it to the altar, and I became your wife
Then we welcomed our last child to complete this crazy life
Now it's fishing with the kids, casting out a line
Or playing dice on family night, listening to music and killing time
ChorusJohn, you're my forever, my ultimate ride or die
My favorite person in this life, I couldn't leave you if I tried
Wise and so protective, the safest place I know
No matter what life throws our way, I'm never letting go
Through everything we've weathered and all we've put each other through
A thousand times over, I would still choose you
BridgeI know I get so scared sometimes, I overthink my mind
I don't always show you you're my best friend, I leave those words behind
I'm sorry for the things I did that made you feel alone
You are the strongest, bravest man that I have ever known
You’ve been fighting this battle by yourself for far too long
But I'm fighting it beside you now, together we are strong
Final Chorus'Cause John, you're my forever, my ultimate ride or die
My favorite person in this life, I couldn't leave you if I tried
Wise and so protective, the safest place I know
We always got each other, and I'm never letting go
Through everything we've weathered and all we've put each other through
A thousand times over, I would still choose you
Yeah, a thousand times over, I will always love you
