Verse 1 She opened up that front‑porch door Smilin’ like she’d known me years Pulled me in a little closer Said, “Baby, don’t be nervous here” Pre‑Chorus And the way she talked about you Lord, it told me everything Chorus I knew you were the one The day I met your mama Saw her eyes light up Just sayin’ your name Right then I felt it Fallin’ wasn’t drama ’Cause good roots grow good hearts And boy, you’re proof of that I knew you were the one The day I met your mama Verse 2 She showed me all your baby pics Bragged about your stubborn streak Said you always aimed for honest Even when it wasn’t easy to speak Pre‑Chorus And the pride she had behind it Hit me deeper than you think Chorus I knew you were the one The day I met your mama Saw her eyes light up Just sayin’ your name Right then I felt it Fallin’ wasn’t drama ’Cause good roots grow good hearts And boy, you’re proof of that I knew you were the one The day I met your mama Bridge If I ever get to raise one Half as loved as she raised you I’ll thank God for that woman And the day she let me through Final Chorus I knew you were the one The day I met your mama Saw her eyes light up Just sayin’ your name Right then I felt it Fallin’ wasn’t drama ’Cause good roots grow good hearts And boy, you’re proof of that I knew you were the one The day I met your mama
