Brad Paisley - Then Lyrics
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.
Now you’re my whole life, now you’re my whole world. And 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 remember, taking you back to right where I first met you. You were so surprised.
There 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 you’re my whole life, now you’re my whole world. And 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 going to love you more. But I’ve said that before.
Now you’re my whole life, now you’re my whole world. And 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.

Just when i thought i was getting used to “play” and memorizing my fav’ song from that cd “more than just this song”. All my friends that are musicians and singers want this song out!!!! What a tribute song to musicians and their heroes. I do think “then” will be the wedding song for many young couples and some celebrating 25, or 50 yr. anniversaries. God bless Brad with all the songs that touch us all the time.

My fiance just played the song for me and told me he wanted it to be our wedding song. Our wedding is coming up this July and we had a hard timne deciding on the song. We listened to all of the words and they are so fitting. I think this is our choice for our wedding song!

THIS IS IT!!! We have tossed songs around for the wedding back and forth but we both heard this song on the radio and called each other to say “hey baby listen to this!” It doesn’t come out till the end of June and the wedding is early June but we are still gonna make it work. Thanks Brad for such a beautiful song!

I first heard this song after returning from NYC home to Maryland on 8/7/09. I had just driven up to a restaurant for an early lunch and this song came on the radio. I was powdering my face in my car as this beautiful song was playing. I became so emotional listening to the words…they were so real, so from his heart. I began to cry and then started to ball my eyes out because it touched my very core. There was no way that I could go into the restaurant looking like such a mess. I decided to drive home to Bel Air and eat later…after my red eyes cleared up! Thank you Brad for such a deep song. How wonderful for those that have experienced what Brad is expressing. Not everyone has.

I heard this on Monday night during the CMA Music Festival: Country’s Night To Rock. A friend and I was watching Brad sing this song and I reached over to take my friends hand and I had to cry just thinking of the meaningful words and what they can mean to us. I was engaged 10 years ago and my fiance passed away suddenly and this new relationship is my first one since 1999. Thanks Brad!!!
