Then

Amy got me the Brad Paisley CD "American Saturday Night" for Christmas. Even though she's not a huge fan of his music. That's why I love her. She'll endulge my likes even if she doesn't like them.

So, I've spent the day listening to Brad. One song that I especially like is called "Then." I'd heard it on the radio before, but listening to it again really made me think. It's the way I feel about Amy. Some of the minor details don't apply to us, but the concept remains the same. I can't imagine loving Amy more, but then I do.

I remember, trying not to stare the night that I first met you
You had me mezmorized
And three weeks later, in the front porch light
taking forty-five minutes to kiss goodnight
I hadn't told you yetbut I thought I loved you then

Chorus

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
Got down on one knee right there once again,
I thought I loved you then

Chorus

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

I could just see you, with a baby on the way
And I could 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
