Dan Fogelberg & Tim Weisberg - Since You've Asked

Dan Fogelberg (1951-2007) Beautiful song written by Judy Collins, from the 1978 album, "Twin Sons Of Different Mothers."

What I'll give you since you asked
Is all my time together
Take the rugged sunny days
The warm and rocky weather
Take the roads that I have walked along
Looking for tomorrow's time
Peace of mind--

As your life spills into mine
Changing with the seasons
Filling up the world with time
Changing time to reasons
I can show you all the songs
That I never sang to someone before

We have seen a million stars
Lying by the water
You have climbed the hills with me
To the mountain shelter
Taking off the days one by one
Setting them to breathe in the sun

Take the lilies and the lace
From the days of childhood
All the willow winding paths
Leading up and outward
This is what I give
This is what I ask you for
Nothing more

Dan's version of this song...his voice...the arrangement...the Judy Collins' melody and lyrics...beyond awesome! Loved his acoustic era best..."Run For The Roses"... "Same Auld Lang Syne"..."Longer"..."Believe In Me"...offer no apology...it's just the "Romantic" in me...if any of you lovely ladies would like to dance (taught briefly for Arthur Murray Dance Studio) I will be honored...will treat you with dignity...and promise to get you home by 11 PM in case your Dad is waiting up...Tunesmith

@tunesmith09 What a lovely comment :) When I first heard this on the radio in the late 70's, it took my breath away. Good thing I bought the album soon after, because I rarely heard it played on the air after that.

What a gorgeous man inside & out. I just think this is the most unbelievable cover ever done of this song. I love Judi Collins...but I think Dan does it better. What a smooth, melodic voice he had...and I know he still has....where he is now. The video is wonderful.

This is my favorite love song,written by Judy Collins. The song expresses all the feelings I have in love.

A precursor to 80's "New Age" music. No doubt David Lanz and other Narada artists were influenced by this.

Loved all the shots of Dan. I loved this song so much, I had it played at my wedding, both of them. Too bad the marriages weren't as great as this song...but I still love the song!!

@modefan63 - This is what the traditional 'easy-listening' radio stations should've played back in the day.....but didn't!

I am definitely going to have to do a commentary on the lyrics of this song! I just love this song.

Dan was an amazing singer songwriter. He is sorely missed.
