Then (Brad Paisley)

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

And three weeks [dates] later, in the front porch light taking forty-five minutes to kiss goodnight…

And I remember, taking you back to right where I first met you, You were so surprised…”

What is funny about this song is that as I was composing the very first fav five cd, this song was pretty new and I had heard it but didn’t really have a connection to it so I didn’t put it on the cd.. Then one day, I forgot the exact day, I was listening to the radio and heard it, I couldn’t believe that this story was written for us! So that is why this is the very first song I put on the straggler CD. I can’t believe that you thought the same thing;)We should, if there are still missions of course, go to a Brad Paisley concert next year when he comes to town. I can’t go this year because I have Jayme’s bachelorette party but it would be could to go next year and look back at “then”…

UPDATE: What better song to kick this CD off than with our anthem. I shortened some of the lyrics the first go around but here are the lyrics in full;)

“I remember, trying not to stare the night that I first me you, you had me memorized, and three weeks later in the front porch light taking forty five minutes to kiss good night, I hadn't told you then, but 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 the river meets the sea, stronger then 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 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

Now your my whole life, now you're my whole world, I just can’t believe the way I feel about you girl like the river meets the sea, stronger then its ever been, we've come so far since that day and I thought I loved you then

I can just see with you with a baby on the way, 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

Now you're my whole life, now you're my whole world, I just can’t believe the way I feel about you girl

You'll look back some day at this moment that we're in and Ill look at you and say and I thought I loved you then and i thought i loved you then”

I only hope that we look back someday at this moment that we’re in and you say I thought you loved me then;)
