Then

I remember trying not to stare
The night that I first met you
You had me mesmerized
And three weeks later in the front porch light
Taking forty five minutes to kiss goodnight
I hadn't told you yet, but I thought I loved you then.

Now your my whole life
Now your my whole world
And I just can't believe
The way I feel about you girl
Like a river meets the sea
Stronger than it's ever been
We've come so far since that day
And, I thought I loved you then.

I remember taking you back
To right where I first met you
You were so surprised
There people around, but I didn't care
I got down on one knee right there
And once again, I thought I loved you then.

Now your my whole life
Now your my whole world
And I just can't believe
The way I feel about you girl
Like a river meets the sea
Stronger than it's ever been
We've come so far since that day
And, I thought I loved you then.

I can just see you
With a baby on the way
I can just see you
When your hair is turning gray
What I can't see
Is how I'm ever going to love you more
But, I've said that before.

Now your my whole life
Now your my whole world
And I just can't believe
The way I feel about you girl
We'll look back someday
At this moment that we're in
And I'll look at you and say
"And, I thought I loved you then."
And, I thought I loved you then...
