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 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
