Thirty-two years ago today (March 9, 1991) was a big day for Alan Jackson: It was on that date that the singer earned his first No. 1 hit with "I'd Love You All Over Again," from his freshman album, Here in the Real World.

Jackson wrote "I'd Love You All Over Again" for his wife Denise, for their 10th wedding anniversary. The song was the fifth and final single from his debut album; his previous single, "Chasin' That Neon Rainbow," made it to No. 2 on the charts, with two other singles, "Here in the Real World" and "Wanted," landing at No. 3.

March of 1991 was a big month for Jackson in general, in fact: Only three days after "I'd Love You All Over Again" topped the charts, Here in the Real World earned platinum status, signifying sales in excess of one million units.

Jackson included "I'd Love You All Over Again" on 1995's Greatest Hits Collection, as well as on his 2010 two-disc collection, 34 Number Ones.

Jackson quickly became accustomed to staying in the No. 1 spot on the charts. Since his first chart-topping hit, the Georgia native has gone all the way to the Top 25 more times, with 57 of his singles landing in the Top 40.

Alan Jackson, "I'd Love You All Over Again" Lyrics:

Has it been ten years / Since we said "I do" / I've always heard marriage / Made one seem like two / But you're looking better / Than you did back then / You still make this old heart give in

And if I had it to do all over / I'd do it all over again / If tomorrow I found one more chance to begin / I'd love you all over again

The preacher man said / "Til death do us part" / That seemed like forever / To a young man's heart / Now the days seem much shorter / The longer we love / And the memories just keep adding up

And if I had it to do all over / I'd do it all over again / If tomorrow I found one more chance to begin / I'd love you all over again

If tomorrow I found / One more chance to begin / I'd love you all over again
