Song Idea: It's easier to describe times in which we remember feeling love than it is to describe what love is. Love is a feeling in the heart, a special memory, a smile in time of joy, a hug in time of need. "I remember love and love remembers me" is the hook. The hook is driven home by small 2 line stories in each verse about times in which the singer remembers love the most: his parents (mom & dad), first marriage, and first baby. In the Bridge, Love doesn't get bored when I come back for more.

Chorus: "I remember love and love remembers me" shows that love is best described and felt in a memory of joy or time of need.
Verse 2: Two, two line memories of love: first getting married and first baby. I remember when we had our first baby I felt such a strong love (feelings) that I wondered if I really knew what love was until that point. My wedding day was another big turning point in my life & love.

Originally, this song was suppose to be a song about the topic "Love is ...". In doing my research and asking people to describe love I found out that it's hard to describe love but it's easy to describe memories of love. I was about ready to drop the song and move on when I thought "I Remember Love and Love Remembers Me". I felt that this was a strong hook so I wrote the song.
