I Thought I Loved You Then
I remember trying not to stare
The night that I first met you
You had me mesmorised
And three weeks later in the front porch light
Taking forty-five 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
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
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
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
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 grey
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
You’ll look back some day
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
