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 just to kiss goodnight

I hadn't told you yet

But I thought I loved you then

But 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

I thought I loved you then

And 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

But 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

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

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"
