About the song
There are certain songs that don’t just pass through the ears but seem to settle into the soul—and **Alan Jackson’s “Remember When”** is unmistakably one of them. Released in 2003 as part of his *Greatest Hits Volume II* collection, this ballad stands as a poignant reflection on life, love, and the quiet strength of enduring relationships. For many listeners—especially those with decades behind them—the song feels less like a performance and more like a heartfelt letter written to time itself.
**Alan Jackson**, one of country music’s most respected and consistent voices, built his career on blending traditional country instrumentation with a gentle, honest lyrical style. But with **”Remember When”**, he stepped into more intimate, vulnerable territory. This is not a song about trucks, honky-tonks, or wild nights—it’s about the **passage of time**, the **fragility of love**, and the **resilience of memory**. What makes the song especially moving is its deeply autobiographical nature: Jackson wrote it as a tribute to his own marriage with wife Denise, capturing the bittersweet moments that come with growing older together.
The arrangement is stripped down, yet elegant—a soft acoustic guitar and gentle piano provide just enough of a framework to let Jackson’s voice carry the emotional weight. His delivery is unhurried and sincere, as if he’s recalling each scene in real time. From the innocent days of young love to the trials of raising children, and the sobering thought of one day having to face life alone, **”Remember When”** invites listeners to walk alongside their own memories.
For older audiences, especially those who have lived through decades of shared experience with a partner or family, the song resonates deeply. It offers both a tribute and a quiet comfort—a reminder that love, even when weathered by time, remains the most enduring narrative in our lives.

Remember When
Tác giả : Alan JacksonNgười đăng : administrator, 13 năm trước
Remember when I was young and so were you
And time stood still and love was all we knew
You were the first, so was I
We made love and then you cried
Remember when
Remember when we vowed the vows
and walked the walk
Gave our hearts, made the start, it was hard
We lived and learned, life threw curves
There was joy, there was hurt
Remember whenRemember when old ones died and new were born
And life was changed, disassembled, rearranged
We came together, fell apart
And broke each other’s hearts
Remember whenRemember when the sound of little feet
was the music
We danced to week to week
Brought back the love, we found trust
Vowed we’d never give it up
Remember whenRemember when thirty seemed so old
Now lookin’ back, it’s just a steppin’ stone
To where we are,
where we’ve been
Said we’d do it all again
Remember whenRemember when we said when we turned gray
When the children grow up and move away
We won’t be sad, we’ll be glad
For all the life we’ve had
And we’ll remember whenRemember when
Remember when
