No you don't know me You give your hand to me The one who loved you so A chance that you might love me too And then you say, "Goodbye" And I watched you walk away Beside the lucky guy And then you say, "Hello" And I can hardly speak

And I thought I loved you then Now you're my whole world And now you're my whole life 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 I remember, trying not to

And I thought I loved you then Now you're my whole world And now you're my whole life 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 I remember, trying not to

Hey, hey, hey My baby needs me I was born in Lil' Rock Had a childhood sweetheart We were always hand in hand I wore hightop shoes and shirt tails Suzy was in pig tails I know I loved her even then You know my papa disapproved it My mama boohooed it

I loved you then I love you now I had to take a chance To happen now and then Across the street your smile broke Like a wave upon my face You didn't notice me at all Across the street I saw you With some other pretty face 'Cause special moments only tend

And I thought I loved you then Now you're my whole world And now you're my whole life 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 I remember, trying not to

The calloused hands upon the plow I loved you then and I love you now, Reuben James Reuben James Reuben James, you still walk the furrowed field of my mind The faded shirt, the weathered brow In my song you live again And the phrases that I rhyme Are

You're gonna miss me I loved you, I loved you, I loved you But that was then Now, when you think of late nights with me there in your bed True ride or die, that's what you had And when you think of my body on yours, don't forget Once I would have died

Just say you won't let go I knew I loved you then But you'd never know 'Cause I played it cool when I was scared of letting go I know I needed you But I never showed But I wanna stay with you until we're grey and old I met you in the dark, you lit me up
