Introduction
Friends, gather ’round, and let me take you on a journey down memory lane. Tonight, we’re going to delve into a song that resonates with the heart of anyone who’s lived long enough to have a few “remember when” stories of their own. We’re talking about Alan Jackson’s “Remember When,” a ballad that’s as warm and comforting as a cozy armchair on a winter’s evening.
Now, Alan Jackson, he’s not just a country music star; he’s a storyteller. He has this knack for capturing the simple moments, the everyday joys and sorrows that make up a life. And “Remember When” is a perfect example of that. It’s a song that speaks to the passage of time, to the bittersweet beauty of looking back on the years gone by.
This song, it’s like a musical scrapbook, filled with snapshots of a life lived and loved. It starts with the innocence of young love, that feeling when time seems to stand still and the world is full of endless possibilities. Remember those days? When love was a grand adventure, and every moment was a precious memory in the making.
Then, the song takes us through the different stages of life, the ups and downs, the joys and heartaches that we all experience. It talks about the vows we make, the challenges we face, and the love that grows stronger with each passing year. It’s about the laughter and the tears, the moments of triumph and the times of doubt.
But what makes “Remember When” so special is that it’s not just about the past; it’s also about the future. It’s about looking forward to the day when we’re old and gray, sitting on the porch, reminiscing about the good old days. It’s about cherishing the memories we’ve made and knowing that we’ll have those memories to hold onto, no matter what life throws our way.
This song, it’s a reminder that life is a precious gift, and every moment is worth savoring. It’s a reminder that love is the most important thing, and that the memories we make with the people we love are the treasures that will last a lifetime.
So, tonight, as we listen to “Remember When,” let’s take a moment to reflect on our own lives, on the memories that have shaped us, and on the love that has sustained us through it all. Let’s raise a glass to the past, to the present, and to the future, and let’s cherish every moment, because before we know it, we’ll be saying, “Remember when…”

Lyrics
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, and it was hard
We lived and learned, life threw curves
There was joy, there was hurt
Remember when?
Remember when old ones died and new were born
And life was changed, disassembled, rearranged
We came together, fell apart
And broke each others hearts
Remember when?
Remember when the sound of little feet, was the music we danced to week to week
Brought back the love, we found trust
Vowed we never give it up
Remember when?
Remember when thirty seemed so old
Now lookin’ back, its just a steppin’ stone
To where we are, where we’ve been
Said we do it all again
Remember when?
Remember when we said when we turn 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 when.
Remember when?
Remember when?…
