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 lightTaking 45 minutes to kiss goodnight
I hadn′t told you yet, but I thought I loved you then

And now you're my whole life, now you′re my whole world
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 were people around, but I didn′t care
I got down on one knee right there
And once again, I thought I loved you then

And now you're my whole life, now you′re my whole world
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 grey
What I can′t see is how I'm ever going to love you more
But I've said that before

And now you′re my whole life, now you′re my whole world
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
