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
I thought I loved you then

Now you're my whole life
Now you're 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 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
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
And I can just see you
When your hair is turning gray
What I can't see is how I'm ever
Gonna love you more
But I've said that before

And now you're my whole life
Now you're 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
