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 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
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 suprised
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
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 can just see you,
With a baby on the way,
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
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
