(Looking For A Lady Lyrics)
Looking for a lady
I'm looking for a lady to change my night to day
Looking for a lady
I'm looking for a lady to chase my blues away
(Chorus)
Well, I have a few in mind but none in particular
I have had them before but nothing that was for sure
And I'm in no position to barter
And I'm in no condition to play the martyr
And I'm sadder certainly but I'm smarter
And I find myself...
Looking for a lady
I'm looking for a lady to share my empty bed
Looking for a lady
I'm looking for a lady to soothe my aching head
(Chorus)
And my feelings have grown rigid like a wooden post
And my love is like a curtain that has been drawn closed
And my life just isn't going the way I thought it was supposed to
And I'm crying and I find myself
Looking for a lady
I'm looking for a lady to change my night to day
@TheSaverino ... absolutely no doubt on live performances and being in the audience... the live album that Dan did produce was done well, many other bands/groups etc.. had distortion and fans yelling and screaming out that it took away from wanting to listen to it...the only way I can describe my experience at his concert was like a religious experience... it was like having a out of body experience,, he was so darn awesome!!

@TheSaverino ~ I'm with you ~~ Dan's voice was like a fine wine; becoming richer, fuller and amazingly better with age.

This was always one of my favorites; hard to believe an 18-year-old 'boy' wrote this! I'm so happy for Dan that he found his "Lady" in Jean <3! She is a LADY in every way and obviously Dan's soul mate. RIP Dan

...to hear is to feel is to be carried aloft into the lyrics longing...

@asquare176 I love heard Dan's albums, but I LOVE his live performances better as I feel they capture his soul better.

@SoothesMySoul Home Free was my first album of Dan's when it first came out in 1972. I have to admit that I purchased the album because I thought he was cute..LOL Then I heard "Stars", and that is, as they say, "all she wrote"...I got it!

Dan's vocal on this, in my opinion, is his best! Very strong, almost gritty, very clear and as "they" say today, very "organic". This is the best find I have found in awhile. Thank you JMeagle101...you done good!!!
