Since @beardedtechguy and I were talking about memories when it comes to music, I'm going to keep that going with today's song which is Livin' On Love by Alan Jackson.

While I was certainly a pretty big Alan Jackson fan, I wasn't near as big of a fan as my Nana was. She loved him and his music and Livin' On Love was her favorite song by him. I remember when she was 94 and 95 years old, before passing away at the age of 96 in 1997, her hearing wasn't good at all. We would keep the living room TV on CMT - Country Music Television most of the day just for the sound and for the music. She never really knew what song was playing until Livin' On Love would come on the TV. She would immediately say, yep, that's Livin' On Love, my favorite song and she'd bob her head a bit and bounce her foot. Memories that I will never forget and often wish I could go back to!

Two young people without a thing
Say some vows and spread their wings
And settle down with just what they need
Livin' on love
She don't care 'bout what's in style
She just likes the way he smiles
It takes more than marble and tile
Livin' on love

Livin' on love, buyin' on time
Without somebody nothing ain't worth a dime
Just like an old fashion story book rhyme
Livin' on love
It sounds simple, that's what you're thinkin'
But love can walk through fire without blinkin'
It doesn't take much when you get enough
Livin' on love\
