Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I still see your smile in that old front room ✨
The one where we danced beneath the silver moon 🌙
The laughter, the tears, the soft midnight calls 🌧️
We built something real, even knowing the fall 💔
[Chorus]
And I’d still say yes, if I had the chance 💛
Even knowing the end, I’d still take the dance 💃
Cause the joy that we made still echoes in me 🎶
I’d trade every tear just to hold what we had ❤️
I’d still say yes… I’d still go back 🌟
[Verse 2]
We dreamed out loud with stars in our eyes ✨
Not fearing the end, just reaching the sky 🌤️
Though time moved too fast and left us undone ⏳
I wouldn’t erase a single sun ☀️
[Chorus]
And I’d still say yes, if I had the chance 💛
Even knowing the end, I’d still take the dance 💃
Cause the joy that we made still echoes in me 🎶
I’d trade every tear just to hold what we had ❤️
I’d still say yes… I’d still go back 🌟
[Bridge]
Some say love’s not worth the pain 🌧️
But I’d bear it all to feel you again 🤍
[Final Chorus]
Yes, I’d still say yes, though I’m missing you so 💛
I’d walk the same road just to watch us grow 🌾
Even goodbye cannot undo what is true 💫
I had forever in those moments with you ❤️
And I’d still say yes… yes I would too 🌟
Artist Take
I wrote “I’d Still Say Yes” from a place that sits somewhere between gratitude and heartbreak. There are moments in life when you look back at someone you loved and realize that even with all the pain that followed, you would choose that story again. There is something powerful in knowing that the good parts were worth the hurt, and that the memories still glow even after the ending has settled in.
This song came from thinking about how love can shape us long after it leaves. The quiet rooms, the old conversations, the small moments that most people never see. Those pieces stay with you. They teach you things. They remind you that the joy was real and that the experience mattered. Sometimes the path is short, but the impact lasts a lifetime.
“I’d Still Say Yes” is about honoring that kind of love. It is about admitting that the journey was beautiful even if it broke you a little. It is about choosing to remember the warmth instead of only carrying the loss. I wanted the song to feel honest, gentle, and brave. I wanted it to sound like someone finally telling the truth about what the relationship meant to them.
If you have ever looked back at a chapter of your life and said, “I would still choose you,” then this song belongs to you too. It is a reminder that the best parts of life are worth the risk, worth the tears, and worth saying yes to, even when we know how fragile everything can be.
