  • 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 other's 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'd never give it up
    Remember when

    Remember 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 when

    Remember 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 when

  • Doris Peterson from Warren OhioDoes Jimmy Buffett sing background music for Alan Jackson in this song remember when?
  • Joann from Portsmouth, VaJust love this song, last week at a wedding this song was playing & what a tear jerker. I do not remember this song being in the movie The Notebook so since I have the movie I will see, maybe its not. anyway listen deeply to all the words and it really hits home to how 2 deeply in love are to each other.
