A Song


Thank you to Sarah for contributing this song and sending me the lyrics! It's called "You Had Me From Hello" by Kenny Chesney.


One word, that’s all you said.
Something in your voice cause me to turn my head.
Your smile, just captured me.
And you were in my future as far as I could see.

And I don’t know how it happened, but it happened still.
You asked me if I love you, if I always will.

Well, you had me from hello, I felt our love start to grow.
The moment that I looked into your eyes.
You warned me, it was over from the start.
You completely stole my heart and now you won’t let go.
I never even had a chance, you know, you had me from hello.

Inside, I built a wall, so high around my heart,
I thought I’d never fall.
With one touch, you brought it down.
The bricks of my defenses scattered on the ground.
And I swore to me that I was never gonna love again.
The last time was the last time I’d let someone in.

But, you had me from hello, I felt our love start to grow.
The moment that I looked into your eyes.
You warned me, it was over from the start.
You completely stole my heart and now you won’t let go.
I never even had a chance, you know, you had me from hello.

That’s all you said, something in your voice
caused me to turn my head.
You had me from hello, you had me from hello.
Girl I’ve loved you from hello.
