11 Things Country Love Songs Have Taught Us

We have all been in this type of situation. We find that person we adore, we continuously grow feelings for them, we spend time with them, we fall even harder, and at the end it ends up in happy way, or a "rip my heart out and throw it on the floor, and have that someone step all over it repeatedly." Everyone has their own story, but we are all able to agree that at one point in time (and I do not care if you hate country music) a country love song described exactly how we felt to a T! So without further adieu, here are 11 things that country love songs taught us:

1. "I Will Always Love You" by Dolly Parton

For starters, many of you may know this song performed by Whitney Houston, but originally written and sang by Dolly Parton, "I Will Always Love You." When you first lay eyes on that person, and you get a "butterfly" feeling in your stomach, right at that moment, you know you will always love them. No matter the distance, no matter the heartache, no matter the time, you will always love them.

2. "Always On My Mind" by Willie Nelson

As Willie Nelson would say you are "Always On My Mind." Sometimes you can't always play victim; sometimes you inflict the pain; sometimes you did nothing wrong and you are just thinking of that one person and realizing you are glad to have them in your life.

3. "Sweet Dreams" by Patsy Cline

May she rest in peace, the influential "Nashville sound" Patsy Cline sang "Sweet Dreams." Sometimes you know you're never going to be a part of this person's life, but you can't help but dream about them. It sucks!

4. "When You Say Nothing At All" by Alison Krauss

Performed by both Keith Whitey and Alison Krauss, "When You Say Nothing At All." Sometimes you don't have to be doing anything, you just have to be there, and the feeling in the room is understood. A look, a touch, or a smile, "you say it best when you say nothing at all."

5. "Remember When" by Alan Jackson

Reminiscing is always fun, looking back on all the memories shared as sang by Alan Jackson in "Remember When." Special moments continuously playing out over the years, and one day you look back at them with that person you love, a little chuckle comes out and one of you asks, remember when?

6. "Hello Darlin'" by Conway Twitty

Have you ever run into someone that you used to have such strong feelings for? Well as sang by Conway Twitty, "Hello Darlin'," is the song for you. You see them, confront them, ask how they're doing, and wish them well. However, they will now and forever hold a special place in your heart.

7. "From This Moment On" by Shania Twain

"From this moment, as long as I live, I will love you" sang Shania Twain in one of her many hit songs "From This Moment On." Declaring your love from now till forever, you are blessed because they have become a part of your life, and have impacted you for the better.

8. "I Can Love You Better" by Dixie Chicks

Sometimes you are in love with someone, but they're taken. You feel angry inside because you see them with that other person, and you are ready to lay it out on the table about how much better they'd be if they were with you, and who could sing a song about this none other than the Dixie Chicks with "I Can Love You Better.

9. "I Told You So" by Randy Travis

Not all of us have heard it directly told to us, but we've all heard the saying "don't come crawling back to me," well, that's just what Randy Travis did in "I Told You So." Thinking you're alright, and then suddenly remorse kicks in, and you think about the possibilities out there, but you get dirt kicked on you when that person laughs and says "I told you so..."

10. "Bless The Broken Road" by Rascal Flatts

We've all had that feeling that we're never gonna find that special someone, we're gonna live alone forever, etc., but then all of a sudden this person appears and makes you do a complete 360 of the way you're seeing life now. You're thinking "hey, I might not actually be alone, and I might be with this person;" well no one could have relayed that message better than Rascal Flatts with "Bless the Broken Road."

11. "Stay" by Sugarland

Unfortunately, love hurts. It's filled with pain, anger, and heartbreak. However, love doesn't show until you want it to. Until you show that person exactly how much love you have, they won't understand just how much you care for them. Sugarland's "Stay" expresses the love they have for that special someone. They non-stop trying, the constant beg, they nonstop showing of affection, the way it messes us up; all because of one person. That is love. Love isn't just about the simple things, it takes these hardships to show what true love is all about.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
