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 But I thought I loved you then 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 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 Well 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 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
