"Choices"

by Martha Haehl ©2006

Recorded by June Holte

Chorus: Life is a choice I make every day.

Once in this life I decided to stay.

Time is so precious I think choices through,

And I choose to spend time with you.

1. Like the spur of the river trying to break out,

I’ve always sought the less traveled route.

Though all of my friends help guide me along,

At the crossroads I follow my song.

Chorus

2. From the towering redwoods across the vast plains,

Through valleys and mountains in busses and trains,

I’ve see magic and wonder in nature it’s true,

And I see that wonder in you.

Chorus

3. Throughout life’s hello’s and goodbyes

I learn from the lows and welcome the highs.

Wherever I go each day starts anew

And I’m thankful for days spent with you.
