I Loved You When - Roger Creager
Written by:Roger Creagger/Paul Lester Overstreet
She stepped off the airplane
We drove straight to my house
An hour later we were lyin' in bed
Laughin' right out loud
We talked about the old times
We made love again
It'd been so long
Since my fingers touched her skin
We were so in love back then
Why didn't we work out
Well I don't know
It don't make sense to me now
She said tell me you love me
I love you
She said say it again
Well honey I do
And say it like you mean it
Like it's in your heart and you believe it
I'm wanting to believe it too
Well I loved you when we were innocent
And I loved you when we were young
And I loved you when I was working
On the beach chairs in the sun
I loved you in that rundown flat we rented overseas
I love you now so powerful
It brings me to my knees
In the night when your hair falls down around my face
I loved you
She got up for a drink
Walked naked across the floor
Beggin' me with their playful smile
And I wanted her once more
Then she poured the wine and we drank it
We laid back down on the bed
Then she curled up against me
And said if you want me
You'll have to tell me again
I said I loved you when we were innocent
And I loved you when we were young
And I loved you when I was working hard
On the beach chairs in the sun
I loved you in that rundown flat we rented overseas
I love you now so powerful
It brings me to my knees
In the night when your hair falls down around my face
I loved you
Then the next day at the airport
I held her close
And I hated like hell to let her go
But as I did I quietly said
I loved you when we were breakin' up
When the truth was hard to see
I love you now so powerful
It still brings me to my knees
Last night when your hair fell down around my face
I loved you
