"Love Remembers" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music singer Craig Morgan. It was released in May 2008 as the first single from his fifth studio album That's Why, his first release for the BNA Records label, as well as his eleventh top 40 hit on the Billboard country charts. Morgan wrote the song with his producer, Phil O'Donnell.
Content
The song is a mid-tempo in which the narrator addresses a former lover, telling her that although she may not remember the details of their former relationship, that "love remembers" those details — such as "the taste of cotton candy lip gloss on the lips of a long kiss / And the plans we made together". In the second verse, he tells her that she might be driven to drink because of his memory ("You might convince yourself there's shelter in a bottle"). The radio edit omits a piano intro.
Reception
Jessica Philips of Country Standard Time magazine described the song more favorably in her review of the album, saying "[it] melds together several vivid images of a love that is gone. The ending becomes an almost-power ballad, and Morgan really lets it rip."[1]
Music video
The music video was directed by Roman White and premiered in mid-2008.
