Longer ~ Dan Fogelberg [ CC ]

"The song I jokingly refer to as, the song that put me on the elevators, I wrote it on a vacation on Maui in 1979 while lounging in a hammock one night and looking up at the stars. It just seems this song was drifting around the universe, saw me, and decided I'd give it a good home." (Dan Fogelberg)

Longer was written by greatest Singer/Songwriter Dan Fogelberg. My special thanks to Jean Fogelberg, she's been so kind to share her precious memory of Dan to us, most of the photos used in this video were from Jean.

Longer (Lyrics)
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...

Put Dan Folgelberg and Lindsey Buckingham together.....JUST IMAGINE!!!!!

[Pisceaneye20]

One of the all time greatest love songs (that's my opinion!).  A wonderful artist, sadly taken too early (prostate cancer). An amazing soul.
