I Still Do

Honey…
all those years ago, I said “I do.”
Go on, ask me again.

I still do
I still do

You still take your coffee the same old way
Two sugars, one kiss, every single day
You hum when you’re cooking, you snore in your chair
You leave the radio on and your socks everywhere
I know your silence before you even speak
After all this time, you’d think I’d be through
But heaven help me, I still do

They ask how we made it through thick and through thin
I just look at you, and I’m all in

For better, for worse, for the long way home
For all the nights we fought and the years we’ve grown
In sickness, in health, in the wreck and the gold
I’d marry you twice now that we’re old
After all these years, after all we’ve been through
Honey, I still do
I still do

Good shoes on, good dress on
One more spin before the band is gone
All over again, all over again
I’d do this whole life all over again

I held your hand in a hospital chair
Watched the years paint silver in your hair
We lost good people we don’t talk about much
But we healed it with casseroles and your touch
The kids are all grown and the house got still
But you still reach for me, and you always will

You still put your pearls on just to sit with me
Still the prettiest thing these old eyes see

For better, for worse, for the long way home
For all the nights we fought and the years we’ve grown
In sickness, in health, in the wreck and the gold
I’d marry you twice now that we’re old
After all these years, after all we’ve been through
Honey, I still do
I still do

And if I go first, don’t you go quiet on me
Keep talking, I’ll be in the kettle, the porch, the trees
And when your hand reaches out in the dark
Mine will be the one, I still do

For better, for worse, for the long way home
In sickness, in health, in the wreck and the gold
I’d marry you twice now that we’re old
Honey, I still do
I still do

So ask me, darling…
after all this love, all this leaving and staying…
do I still?
I still do.
