More biographical info, critical reception.
Linda Kaye Davis was born November 26, 1962 in Dotson, Texas. She made her singing debut on a local radio show at age six. By the time she was 20, Davis moved to Nashville, Tennessee, where she paired up with singer Skip Eaton to form the duo Skip & Linda. Skip & Linda signed to MDJ Records and had three minor singles on the Billboard country charts.[1]
[edit] In a Different Light and Linda Davis
After Skip & Linda parted ways, Davis found work as a jingle singer, and subsequently as a backing vocalist for Reba McEntire. Davis's first solo chart entry came in 1988 on Epic Records, although it was not until 1991 that she released her debut album In a Different Light on Liberty Records. This album produced two chart singles, but no Top 40 hits. It was followed by a self-titled second album in 1992, which did not produce any chart singles at all.
[edit] "Does He Love You" and Shoot for the Moon
Davis saw her biggest chart success in 1993 when she and McEntire recorded their duet "Does He Love You". Davis's only Number One country hit, it also won her and McEntire a Grammy Award for Best Country Vocal Collaboration that year.[1] Soon afterward, Davis signed to Arista Nashville and recorded her third album, Shoot for the Moon. This album's lead-off single, the Mac McAnally composition "Company Time", fell short of the Top 40. It was followed by "Love Didn't Do It" at #58. Davis, along with Trisha Yearwood and Martina McBride, sang guest vocals on McEntire's mid-1995 cover of the Patti LaBelle/Michael McDonald song "On My Own", although only McEntire received chart credit for it.
[edit] Some Things Are Meant to Be
Davis did not enter Top 40 on the country charts again until 1996 with the title track of her 1996 album Some Things Are Meant to Be, her second album for Arista. This song peaked at #13 on the country charts, becoming her highest solo chart peak. Following it were "A Love Story in the Making" (co-written by former NRBQ member Al Anderson) at #33, and "Walk Away", which failed to chart. Also included on this album was the song "What Do I Know", released by Ricochet that same year as its debut single.
[edit] I'm Yours
Davis's fifth album, I'm Yours, was released in 1998 on DreamWorks Records, then a newly-established record label. Its lead-off single, "I Wanna Remember This, was also featured on the soundtrack to the film Black Dog. This song peaked at #20 in 1998, followed by the title track at #38 and "From the Inside Out" at #60. After this latter song, Davis exited DreamWorks.
[edit] 2003-present
In 2003, Davis self-released a Christmas album with her husband, Lang Scott, and their daughter, Hillary (b. April 1, 1984). Two more self-released albums, I Have Arrived and Young at Heart, followed in 2004 and 2007, respectively. Hillary founded the country music group Lady Antebellum in 2006.

I Wanna Remember This
Linda Davis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Not a cloud in the sky and the full moon above
I could swear the stars have all been aligned
To be leading to this moment in time
Summer wind breathing down our necks
It's too early to go home yet
I lay my head down on your chest and
Our hearts are pounding together
Hold me until
We find a way of making time stand still
Don't waste one kiss
Oh I wanna remember this
Oh I wanna remember this
As we lie here in the soft and quiet
I want to take this night and memorize it
Love can be here today and gone tomorrow
This could be all we get for all that we know
Feel your touch upon my skin
Don't ever want to leave the space we're in or
Forget the look on your face just then
Let's stay lost in the shadows
I never want to let you go, so
Hold me until
We find a way of making time stand still
Don't waste one kiss
Oh I wanna remember this
Oh I wanna remember this
Long as I have had to wait
I don't want this night to fade
Summer wind breathing down our necks
It's too early to go home yet
I lay my head down on your chest
Our hearts are pounding together
I want every beat to last forever
Hold me until
We find a way of making time stand still
Don't waste one kiss
Oh I wanna remember this
Losing myself in your kiss
No, it doesn't get better than this
Oh, I wanna remember this
