This is the most beautiful love song ever written! It has been one of my favorite's of Dan Fogelberg since the first time I heard it all those many years ago! (Mid 70s)
I only wish this was an actual performance of Dan singing this on stage.
Nevertheless- this song is perfection!
LONGER
(Dan Fogelberg)
Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew
Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens
I've been in love with you.
Stronger than any mountain cathedral
Truer than any tree ever grew
Deeper than any forest primeval
I am in love with you.
I'll bring fire in the winter
You'll send showers in the spring
We'll fly through the falls and summers
With love on our wings.
Through the years as the fire starts to mellow
Burning lines in the book of our lives
Though the binding cracks and the pages start to yellow
I'll be in love with you.
Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew
Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens
I've been in love with you
I am in love with you.

ReplyDeletelovers and Yes I had noticed you were a romantic!! Glad you enjoyed the jokes, I get most out of a joke book.

This has been a favorite of mine, too, since I heard it so long ago. I love this song!!
ReplyDeleteHi Junie!
ReplyDeleteGr8 taste in music. I LOVE this song. GMTA (Great Minds Think Alike). Ironically, I posted my "Tues. Aft. Tunes" so I hope you visit. :)
I heard this song on the radio as a teenager... had no idea who sang it, but thought it was the most amazing song ever, so I recorded it off the radio onto a cassette! Only found out later that it was sung by Dan Fogelberg, and that's when I became a Dan fan! To this day, that song is still my favorite of his.
ReplyDeleteI love that song as well.
ReplyDeleteAlli is as very beautiful young lady.
Cheers Margaret
It certainly is a beautiful love song.
ReplyDeletePerfect for upcoming Valentine's Day.

Hi Junie,
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you ever saw Dan on Soundstage a few years ago; I did not.
Anyway, they're going to feature him again in February (the 21st-23rd on my local station). Check out the programming schedule on their web site.
Sarah,
ReplyDeleteThanks! I will be sure to check on this! I will treasure every little bit of Dan that we have left!
