Sweet Magnolia (And The Traveling Salesman) ~ Dan Fogelberg [ CC ]

"A very cinematic piece about courting my first wife. A Sothern Belle if ever there was one. Tom Scott played great clarinet." (Dan Fogelberg)
Sweet Magnolia ~ Dan Fogelberg from 1984 "Windows And Walls" Album, also included in Portrait: The Music of Dan Fogelberg From 1972-1997 (Disc 2).
This is a special request by a beautiful southern belle Mariaglenn and Irving (her husband). The song & most of the beautiful images were chosen by Maria. Magnolia is used to call a pretty girl raised in the south. We would like to dedicate this video to all Dan Fans. Maria, thank you for collecting the beautiful images of the southern theme and your friendship! Irving & Maria, since you've asked, Sweet Magnolia is done especially for you, enjoy!

Sweet Magnolia (And The Traveling Salesman) (Lyrics)

Two hearts throwing off sparks
Young and in love with our freedom
Moonlight, the soft southern nights
We were both ripe to fall
Well I was out on my own
Playing for all who would listen
And you were as free as a bird
Flying from nest to nest
But somewhere our eyes met
And our hands reached out
And we felt a kindred spirit
And as our faces touched
I could feel the fire
And needed so to just be near it
Oh lord, those moments we soared
Borne on the wings of our passion
It seemed then like they'd never end
But times like that always must '
Cause then one day I flew far away from you
I never knew how I'd regret it
My sweet Magnolia belle you know I've loved you well
Even if I never said it
Magnolia, now I see that freedom isn't free
And love's the only true redeemer
And when this journey's through
I'll be coming back for you
If you'll have this foolish dreamer
I spend a night now and then passing through town on my travels
But someday I'm gonna come back to stay
Magnolia, I'm coming home

Magnificent video! This is Peter from Hong Kong. Thanks so much for the hard work, Bill. Please keep uploading these beautiful songs from Dan for us to share.

Hi Peter in Hong Kong, thank you for your comment and support, hope all is well!

[DANSFANFOREVER]

Being a southern girl myself this has always been one of my favorites. Thank you so much for making such a beautiful video...you always do. You always do justice to our Danny's songs...thank you. :-)

[JMEagle101]

You're very welcome Julie, and most of the pictures in this video were chosen by another southern girl, your friend River!

Oh my goodness...JMEagle101, you are doing some beautiful work here. Thank you. It's a rainy day today in South Georgia. I call it a Dan Fogelberg day. I've always loved his music no matter what the weather is like, but on a gray and rainy day it seems to seep even deeper into my soul. So, I came here to enjoy some of his videos. I didn't know what a nice surprise I would find. This Sweet Magnolia would just like to thank you again. You honor Dan well.

Stunningly beautiful.  What artistry you have to match our beloved Dan. Your imagery goes exceptionally well with Dan's flowing lyrics. Thank you.

Lovely vid to go with a beautiful song . . .

[HiVybe]

...the erotic, symbiotic attractions (unsrestrained by these images) truly show yet another facet of Dan's allure and life that cannot be overstated. So well done JMEagle101!...

[kevinhof63]

Great song, great video! I never get tired of watching these!

[magnoliabelle23]

This has always been my all time favorite song. Its melody is hauntingly beautiful, and cuts to the core. I was 23 when this song came out. The romanticism of this ballard is bittersweet and deeply touching to me. It holds significance to me and my life for many reasons. Its even my email addy. LOL Love this song, thanks for making such a sweet video to go along with it. Superbly done.

[PKTrekGirl]

JMEagle101, thanks so much for making all these videos for Dan's music. A labor of love, to be sure...and you did an excellent job.

[HiVybe]

...a melody so unrequited; i can almost let go, if only...
