this is for Das, and whoever else likes country....this is a beautiful song.

 

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 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 up

Remember when

 

Remember when thirty seemed 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

 

Remember when

Remember when

great song. Even if you don't like country, I think yall could like it....I mean, I know a lot of people who like a little Alan Jackson, even if they don't like much country.

I HATE alan jackson. Cheesiest s*** ever.

Alan Jackson is some good stuff. Remember When is cheesy in a sense, but still a great song. I love songs like that...when it talks about a couple staying together for so long (like that Trace Adkins song).

you mean this song?

 

 

Artist : Trace Adkins

Song : Then They Do

 

Lyrics:

 

In the early rush of morning

Trying to get the kids to school

One's hanging on my shirttail

Another's locked up

In her room

And I'm yelling up the stairs

Stop worrying 'bout your hair

You look fine

 

Then they're fightin' in the backseat

I'm playing referee

Now someone's gotta go

The moment that we leave

And everybody's late

I swear that I can't wait

'Till they grow up

 

(Chorus)

Then they do

And that's how it is

It's just quiet in the morning

Can't believe

How much you miss

All they do

And all they did

You want all the dreams

They dreamed of

To come true

Then they do

 

Now the youngest is starting college

She'll be leavin' in the Fall

And Brianna's latest boyfriend

Called to ask if we could talk

And I got the impression

That he's about to pop the question any day

 

I look over at their pictures

Sittin' in their frames

I see them as babies

I guess that'll never change

You pray all their lives

That someday they will find happiness

 

(Chorus)

Then they do

And that's how it is

It's just quiet in the morning

Can't believe

How much you miss

All they do

And all they did

You want all the dreams

They dreamed of

To come true

Then they do

 

No more Monday PTA's

No carpools

Or soccer games

Your work is done

Now you've got time

That's all your own

You've been waitin' for so long

For those days to come

 

(Chorus)

Then they do

And that's how it is

It's just quiet in the morning

Can't believe

How much you miss

All they do

And all they did

You want all the dreams

They dreamed of

To come true

Then they do

that alan jackson song is pretty good.

 

 

 

not my favorite, but then again my favorite speaks to me and does not deal with love and the passage of time much at all....

Here is one more that looks at hte passage of time...

 

 

Time Marches on ~ Tracy Lawrence

 

Sister cries out from her baby bed

Brother runs in feathers on his head

Momma's in her room learning how to sew

Daddy's drinking beer, listening to the radio

Hank Williams sings "Kaw Liga" and "Dear John"

And time marches on, time marches on

Sister's using rouge and clear complexion soap

Brother's wearing beads and he smokes alot of dope

Momma is depressed, barely makes a sound

Daddy's got a girlfriend in another town

Bob Dylan sings "Like a Rolling Stone"

And time marches on, time marches on

 

Bridge

The south moves north, the north moves south

A star is born, a star burns out

The only thing that stays the same is

Everything changes, everything changes

Sister calls herself "Sexy Grandma"

Brother's on a diet for high cholesterol

Momma's out of touch with reality

Daddy's in the ground beneath the maple tree

As the angels sind an old Hank Williams song

 

Time marches on, Time marches on

Time marches on, Time marches on

Time marches on, Time marches on

I've not heard that song. Now....a song that talks about passage of time (in a sense) that isn't country, but good nonetheless is Ain't Wastin Time No More by the Allman Brothers. I'll put they lyrics up later....I'm gettin ready to go mudding (it could be awhile, because I'm an idiot, and I'm goin in a 2wd truck...but with my friend's z71, so he can pull me out).

I am not a big country fan, but I must say that is a beautiful song by Alan Jackson.

Bob loves it.

attaboy Bobby!

This song, while a new one, is really nice.

 

I'm a Survivor by Reba McEntire

 

I was born 3 months too early

The doctor gave me 30 days

but I must of had my momma's will

And God's amazing grace

I guess I'll keep on livin'

Even if this loves to die for

Cause your bags are packed and I ain't cryin'

Your walking out and I'm not tryin' to change your mind

Cause I was born to be...

 

*Chorus*

The baby girl without a chance

A victim of the circumstance

The one who oughta give up

But she's just to hard headed

A single mom who works two jobs

who loves her kids and never stops

With gentle hands and a heart of a fighter

I'm a survivor

 

I don't believe in self-pity

It only brings you down

Maybe the queen of broken hearts

But I don't hide behind the crown

When the deck is stacked against me

I just play a different game

My roots are planted in the past

And though my life is changin' fast

Who I am is who I wanna be

 

*Chorus*

 

Oh, a single mom who works 2 jobs

Who loves her kids and never stops

With gentle hands and a heart of a fighter

I'm a survivor

 

But I must of had my momma's will

And God's amazing grace

I'm a survivor

im not a fan of too much girl country, but Reba McIntyre is amazing. Heck of a voice.

I like reba and faith hill, they have some beautiful songs, crossover to other genres and have beautiful voices.

 

Plus Reba on the TV is nice on a cold Friday night.

Faith Hill...not too much a fan of her music...but I love watching CMT when she's on...hehe. I actually like the Dixie Chicks' cd, Home. It's good and bluegrassy. I dont care for their political views, but I don't buy music or watch movies based on their political views. Why would I care what Natalie Maines thinks? What does she know that I don't?

 

Anyway, yah Home is a good cd. I especially like that song Top of the World. Beautiful song.
