Dan Fogelberg wrote and sang one of the most touching songs my pair of ears have ever had the pleasure of listening to.
That song is called “Longer”.
If ever there was a perfect song to listen to as you are sitting side by side with your loved one in a little wooden lodge up in the snowy mountains of Colorado, enjoying the warmth of the glowing fireplace that is by your feet, then this the song.
Singer-songwriters may pass on, but the songs live on forever.

Longer
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 fires in the winters
You’ll send showers in the springs
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
Ahhh! this is one of my fav songs… !
Oh. It’s him…?!
Another one I like is “Leader of the Band”.
Yeah…nice song with beautiful lyrics. One of the classics. Thanks for the intro and clip.
