"Your dad always tells this story like he's the hero
But listen kids:
I chose him
I knew he was the one before he even knew my name
That's how it really happened"
In the crowded room my heart stood still (oh-oh!)
One glance and time bent to my will (oh-oh!)
Your smile lit up the world for me (oh-oh!)
I knew somehow this was meant to be (oh-oh!)
The way you moved it felt like fate (oh-oh!)
In that moment no need to wait (oh-oh!)
A silent spark a quiet flame (oh-oh!)
My heart already knew your name (oh-oh!)
This is how I met your father (oh-oh!)
In that second nothing else mattered (oh-oh!)
Through the years through the time (oh-oh!)
It all began with love's first sign (oh-oh!)
I couldn't speak; my breath was gone (oh-oh!)
Every heartbeat said "He's the one" (oh-oh!)
I saw our future in his eyes (oh-oh!)
A story written in the skies (oh-oh!)
The way he laughed it felt like home (oh-oh!)
No more need to search or roam (oh-oh!)
A love so real it shaped my days (oh-oh!)
A memory that forever stays (oh-oh!)
This is how I met your father (oh-oh!)
In that second nothing else mattered (oh-oh!)
Through the years through the time (oh-oh!)
It all began with love's first sign (oh-oh!)
And now I tell this tale to you (oh-oh!)
Of the moment our love broke through (oh-oh!)
Every choice led me to that place (oh-oh!)
Where I first saw his shining face (oh-oh!)
This is how I met your father (oh-oh!)
In that second nothing else mattered (oh-oh!)
Through the years through the time (oh-oh!)
It all began with love's first sign (oh-oh!)
With every word I relive the day (oh-oh!)
When fate decided to show me the way (oh-oh!)
