The Love of My Life
JULY 28, 2017
HAPPY 38TH ANNIVERSARY


I remember, trying not to stare, the night that I first met you
You had me mesmerized

And three weeks (days) 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
But 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 can just see you, with a baby on the way

And I can 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
