I thought I loved you then,
When first looks became long, longing gazes
And smiles became extended conversations.
I thought I loved you then.
I thought I loved you then,
When love was newly pledged,
Fingers intwined, toes burrowing in the sand.
I thought I loved you then.
But now when love has been tested and tried,
And has come through stronger and deeper;
Now after many trials, heartache, laughter and tears,
Now I know that
I only thought I loved you then.

I thought I loved you then,
When first looks became long, longing gazes
And smiles became extended conversations.
I thought I loved you then.
I thought I loved you then,
When love was newly pledged,
Fingers intwined, toes burrowing in the sand.
I thought I loved you then.
But now when love has been tested and tried,
And has come through stronger and deeper;
Now after many trials, heartache, laughter and tears,
Now I know that
I only thought I loved you then.
