Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every time you see
Do you remember
When we fell in love?
We were young and innocent then
Do you remember
How it all began?
Do you remember
Back in the fall?
We'd be together all day long
Do you remember
Us holding hands?
In each other's eyes, we'd stare
Tell me
Do you remember the time
When we fell in love?
Do you remember the time
When we first met, girl?
Do you remember the time
When we fell in love?
Do you remember the time
Do you remember
How we used to talk?
You know
We'd stay on the phone at night 'til dawn
Do you remember
All the things we said?
Like, I love you so, I'll never let you go
Do you remember
Back in the Spring?
Every morning birds would sing
Do you remember
Those special times?
They'll just go on and on
In the back of my mind
Do you remember the time
When we fell in love?
Do you remember the time
When we first met, girl?
Do you remember the time
When we fell in love?
Do you remember the time
Those sweet memories
Will always be dear to me
And girl, no matter what was said
I will never forget what we had
Now baby
Do you remember the time
When we fell in love?
Do you remember the time
When we first met, girl?
Do you remember the time (oh, I)
When we fell in love?
Do you remember the time
(Remember, my baby)
Do you remember the time ('cause I remember)
When we fell in love?
Do you remember the time
(All in my mind, girl)
Do you remember the time (oh, I)
When we fell in love?
Do you remember the time
(Remember, my baby)
Remember the time
Woo
Remember the time
Do you remember, girl?
Remember the time
On the phone, you and me
Remember the time?
'Til dawn, two or three
What about us, girl?
Remember the time
Do you, do you, do you, do you, do you
Remember the time
In the park, on the beach
Remember the time
You and me in Spain
What about, what about
Remember the time
Remember the time
Ooh, in the park
Remember the time
After dark
Do you, do you, do you
Remember the time
Do you, do you, do you, do you
Remember the time
Yeah, yeah, woo
Remember the time
The Jackson 5/Michael Jackson's song Remember The Time is a nostalgic ballad that reflects on a past relationship. The singer asks their former partner if they remember the moments they shared together, from falling in love to spending time on the phone until dawn. They recall the innocence and joy they experienced in the beginning, wondering why it had to end. The memories are precious to the singer, who promises never to forget what they had.
The song is about the universal experience of reminiscing about a past love. The lyrics evoke a sense of nostalgia and wistfulness, as the singer fondly remembers the times they shared with their ex-partner. The song is not just about the individual relationship, but also about the passing of time and the fleeting nature of human connections. The choreography and music video evoke Ancient Egypt, which adds a touch of romanticism and epicness to the song.
