What I Saw Then Lyrics

The first time that I saw you

You had ribbons in your hair

A lovely summer skirt and jacket

Almost perfect I swear

I couldn't see your face

But I could see those big blue eyes

And now as I look back and think

I start to realize

That what I saw that day

Was nothing short of beauty

But as I've learned to love you

There's so much more to see

A picture's worth a thousand words

But only if you take it

And I'm okay with breaking my heart

Only if you break it

I just want you to know

That what I saw so long ago

Is nothing, oh is nothing

Oh is nothing like I know

The next thing that I noticed

Was your quiet disposition

The way that you stay silent

When no one else would listen

A tender word you'd offer

At the perfect time it seemed

And reflecting on that sunday

Oh it's better than I dreamed

And though what I saw that day

Was nothing short of beauty

Oh as I've learned to love you

There's so much more to see

A picture's worth a thousand words

But only if you take it

And I'm okay with breaking my heart

Only if you break it

I just want you to know

That what I saw so long ago

Is nothing, oh is nothing

Oh is nothing like I know

What I saw then

Is what I see now

But every single day

You're more beautiful somehow

What I saw then

Is what I see now

But every single day

You're more beautiful somehow

A picture's worth a thousand words

But only if you take it

And I'm okay with breaking my heart

Only if you break it

I just want you to know

That what I saw so long ago

Is nothing, oh is nothing

Oh is nothing like I know
