Then

I remember tryin' not to stare the night that I first met you
You had me mesmerized, and three weeks later
In the front porch light, takin' forty-five minutes to kiss goodnight
I hadn't told you yet, but I thought I loved you then

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 takin' 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 once again
I thought I loved you then

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 could just see you with a baby on the way
I could just see you when your hair was turnin' gray
What I can't see is how I'm never gonna love you more
But I've said that before

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
