Every Single Time

[Verse 1 — Female]

We met one night at my mama’s place,
Just a braai, just another day.
But something changed when I saw your face,
And somehow you found your way.

Then Barnyard, our first night out,
Two hearts with no idea where this would go.
Then you sent one hundred roses to me,
The first flowers I’d ever known.

[Pre-Chorus — Female + Male Harmony]

It wasn’t only your beautiful eyes,
It was the man I saw inside.
The way you cared, the way you loved,
The way you treated everyone with pride.

[Chorus — Both]

Anton, you’re my forever,
My best friend, my soulmate, my home.
After all these years together,
You’re still the one I want to hold.
Through every tear, through every smile,
I’d walk every road just to find you.
Fourteen years and a lifetime to go,
And I’d choose you…
Every single time.

[Verse 2 — Female + Male Harmony]

You’re always there when I need you most,
The one I know I can always call.
And when you call me by those names you use,
My heart still melts through it all.

And even when you say “Snapples,”
I smile because it’s you.
It’s our talks, our laughs, our quiet nights,
And knowing you’ll always be there.

[Bridge — Female, Male joins]

We’ve been through days we never planned,
We’ve faced the fear, we’ve faced the pain.
We’ve fallen down, we’ve stood back up,
And somehow love remained.

Seven years clean, seven years strong,
Seven years without a drop.
Anton, I hope you know how proud I am
Of how far you’ve come.

Through Covid, through the accidents,
Through every tear and every scar,
Through your operation and the hardest days,
I’ve seen just who you have become.

[Final Chorus — Both, Full Power]

Anton, you’re my forever,
My best friend, my soulmate, my home.
Fourteen years and I still love you
More than words could ever show.

And with Peppie and Misty by our side,
Our little family, our happy home,
I’d take your hand and walk beside you,
Wherever life may go.

I’d find that braai,
I’d find your eyes,
I’d let those hundred roses bloom.
I’d say “I do” a thousand times,
As long as every road leads back to you.

[Outro — Both, Soft]

Fourteen years married,
Sixteen years in love…

Anton…
I choose you.

Every single time.

I love you.
