"Remember When" is a song by American country music artist Alan Jackson. The song is about looking back on a long and happy life spent with a loved one. The lyrics take the listener through a series of memories, starting with the early days of the relationship, through the ups and downs, and finally to the present. The first verse talks about the early days, when the couple was young and in love. Time stood still, and love was all they knew. They made love, and the woman cried. The second verse reflects on the challenges the couple faced together as they navigated life's ups and downs. They made vows, gave their hearts, and experienced both joy and hurt. The third verse touches on the passing of time and the changes that come with it. The couple came together and fell apart, but always found a way back to each other. The fourth verse describes the happiness and fulfillment that came with starting a family. The sound of little feet was the music they danced to every week. The fifth verse reflects on the passage of time and how our perspective changes as we age. Thirty seemed old at the time, but looking back, it was just a stepping stone. The final verse looks forward to the future, when the children have grown up and moved away. The couple won't be sad, but instead will be glad for all the life they've had together. The song ends with a repetition of the phrase "remember when," urging the listener to hold onto their memories and cherish the time they've spent with their loved ones.
