Lyrics

Then lyrics
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 yet
but 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

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

1. Why did you choose this song? Why is it important to you?
I listened to it pretty much on repeat when I went to my cabin last summer, so it brings me back to the fun and relaxing time that I had.  It is important to me because I had just gotten surgery and I couldn't do very much, so I got really attached to listening to brad paisley when everyone else got to do fun things like water skiing.

The story is just about how Brad Paisley met his wife, and how he loves her more and more each day, even though he didn't think that was possible.

Mostly free-verse, with A B A B in part of the chorus, while other parts show AA BB

4. What is the emotional tone or mood?
The emotional mood is really loving and admirable and just overall happy and content with life.

5. What is the message or lesson?
The message is that no matter how in love you are with someone, you can always surprise yourself by falling in love with them even more as time goes on.

6. What is the intention of this piece of music?
The intention of this music is for Brad Paisley to show his wife how he feels about her and how their life together started, and to express what it's like to genuinely be in love.
