I Loved You When...

I loved you when you were a nobody
Loved you when your eyes were full of tears
I loved you when you wore ragged old jeans
Loved you when you whispered to me your fears

I loved you when you were happy
Loved you just as much when you were sad
I loved you when you acted real tough
Loved you even when you were trying to be bad

I loved that I could make you smile
Loved that we did things our own little way
I loved that you'd tell me your stories
Loved that I knew exactly what you would say

I loved you when you were just you
Loved that I saw something that no one else could
I loved you when you were a nobody
And loved that I got to stand where I stood
