A few weeks ago we were traveling in a car full of kids with a blizzard chasing us, roads closing behind us, the travel snacks had been left behind, and I refused to help drive. This song came on the radio, and somehow, everything quieted, and B took my hand and said, "This is our song." I hadn't heard it before. He had.
"Then"
by Brad Paisley
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 45 minutes to kiss goodnight
I hadn't told you yet
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 a river meets the sea
Stronger than its 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 suprised
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 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 its 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 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
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
We are so busy, but B, you took time to tell me. I've read your card 10 times this morning. Happy Anniversary, Blue Eyes.
19 years is a long road between 21 and 40, and I've always loved you. I always will.
I have neglected this blog, but not on purpose! I feel, very soon, I will get the time I need to upload some pictures and share some stories and change up that very cold picture above now that it is finally warming up here! Even my birthday list is from April! Gah! Happy birthday, May people!
