Since I Met You Baby
Ivory Joe Hunter Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning

Since I met you baby
My whole life has changed
Since I met you baby
My whole life has changed
And everybody tells me that I am not the same

I don't need nobody
To tell my troubles to
I don't need nobody
To tell my troubles to
'Cause since I met you baby, all I need is you

Since I met you baby
I'm a happy man
Since I met you baby
I'm a happy man
I'm gonna try to please you in every way I can

I have to say this
I met my wife when
She was. 10 years old
I was 11 years old
We're together ❤ all our Lives
Married me 20 years old
Her 19 years old
She passed away 3 years ago
Died in my arms at 74 years old
I was 75 years old
This Sony was a MUST at our wedding
I still cry every day
I want to be with Her
I now have. Lung cancer
A gift from God
Maybe see her. Soon
Together fro
6. 8. 1955
Over 64 years
Thank you for reading my
Story

This is one of the greatest songs ever recorded... I loved it in 1950 and I'm 84 years old and I still love it... It transports me back to when I was young and handsome, and everybody wanted a piece of me... oh those were the days

I'm 81 and I still play this song when I'm thinking of my true love. This was 'our song'. He passed away and my heart aches over my loss. I love him so very much.

After my parents, who had been trying to have children for 13 years, adopted me in 1956, my mom used to hold me in her arms while this song was playing on an 45, dance around the living room, and sing it to me until I was about 6, maybe 7, years old!  And, yes, I was a mama's boy until the day she died almost 9 years ago at age 87. Thanks for sharing it!

@Carol Swaller God loves you so that He sent His only begotten som to die on the cross for our sons. I lost my mom at the age of 2 and since did not to take pictures I do not know what she looks like, but Jesus has loved, blessed and given me grace and mercy and strength to face this life. He can do the same for you!♥️
