You can forget what love was wearing

When it walked out your front door

Where you fell down to your knees

And you can forget the kind of suitcase

That was packed out on the sidewalk

While you cried there beggin' please

But love remembers



You can lie and tell yourself

You're over it and someone else will take love's place

And this is for the best

You can lie in that bed

In a stranger's arms reachin' for comfort

Close your eyes and still get no rest



Cause love remembers

The smell of a summer day

Lying in a hammock over fresh cut grass

And the promise of forever

Yeah love remembers

The sound of the pouring rain

Beatin' down on the top of a car

On the side of the road

Where it couldn't wait

Yeah love remembers



You might convince yourself

There's shelter in a bottle

And for a while there it might numb the pain

But when it hits you, then it hits you

That love's still gone and you'll be wishin'

That you'd poured it down the drain

'Cause love remembers



The taste of cotton candy lip gloss

On the lips of a long kiss

And the plans they made together

Yeah love remembers

To feel the fingertips

Running through soakin' wet hair

On the bank after a midnight swim

Yeah love remembers



[guitar solo]



Yeah love remembers

The smell of a summer day

Lying in a hammock over fresh cut grass

And the promise of forever

Love remembers

The sound of the pouring rain

Beatin' down on the top of a car

On the side of the road

Where it couldn't wait

Yeah love remembers



Love remembers

(Love remembers)

(The sound of the pouring rain)

Beatin' down on the top of a car

(On the side of the road)

(Where it couldn't wait)
