Okay, it shouldn’t surprise anyone that I like Dan Fogelberg. He was one of those 70s singer/songwriters and his music is well-constructed, thoughtful, and has some very beautifully-crafted lyrics.
He was also, with his long, dark hair and beard and beautiful green eyes, damned good looking (always a bonus, IMHO).
Dan Fogelberg wrote my favorite love song of all time, Longer. I always hoped someday I’d have someone to sing it to, someone who really fit the lyrics (and I do).
The album I happen to be listening to at the moment is actually Phoenix (which does have Longer on it). I haven’t listened to it in a long time. I’m really glad I pulled it out of the hundreds of other CDs today and popped it into the player. I’m really enjoying it.
Along the road
Your path may wander
A pilgrim’s faith may fail
Absence makes the heart grow stronger
Darkness obscures the trail.
Cursing the quest
Courting disaster
Measureless nights forebode
Moments of rest
Glimpses of laughter
Are treasured along the road.
