Magic Every Moment ~ Dan Fogelberg

"A joyous song written in Maine in the throes of second honeymoon-itis. Heavily influenced by Johnny Clegg and Savuka and Bruce Cockburn. I must have worked on the track for two years before I got it the way I wanted it. Still one of my favorites." (Dan Fogelberg)
Special thanks to Bobby for sharing Dan's liner notes. Thanks to David for the pictures of Dan in concert @ Red Rocks ~ Denver, Colorado June 26, 2002. Red Rocks is Dan's favorite place to play in the whole world. In 2002, fans showed their appreciation by choosing Fogelberg as one of the first ten inductees into the Performers Hall of Fame at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado. I tried to blend in Magic Every Moment (the opening song for many of his Tour 2002 concerts) with those pictures and make it feel like a live performance. Hope Dan's music bring you to your feet and dance along! Enjoy! My friend Bev. requested this one back in 2009, I finally get it done, for you Bev. Hope you like it. Special thanks to Sylvia for her post in Ever On Website about the Red Rocks concert, for detail please see the link:

Magic Every Moment ~ Dan Fogelberg (Lyrics)

I awoke this morning to a shattering sound
And I went downstairs and found these shards of glass strewn all around
There upon the floor I found this poor broken dove
And it made me realize how very fragile is this life that we so love

I came back up to bed and I held you so tight
And I prayed up to the Father, oh I prayed with all my might
That He'd always keep you with me, that He'd always keep you safe
And when I went dowstairs I found that dove had somehow up and flown away

(Chorus)
There's a magic every moment
There's a miracles each day
There's a magic every moment
Oh won't you let the music play
Oh won't you let the music play

On a high and windy island I was gazing out to sea
When a long forgotten feeling came and took control of me
It was then the clouds burst open and the sun came pouring through
When it hit those dancing waters in an instant all eternity I knew

There's so much we take for granted--there's so much we never say
We get caught up in the motion of just a living day to day
We are fettered to the future, we are prisoners of the past
And we never seem to notice 'til our lives have finally
Slipped right through our grasp

(Chorus)

You can see forever in a single drop of dew
You can see that same forever if you look down deep inside of you
There's a spark of the creator in every living thing
He respects me when I work but He so loves me when I sing

(Repeat Chorus Twice)

What a great footage of photo's. I attended that concert in Texas just weeks before that. I believe it was billed as the

25th Anniversary tour! My hubs said to me last night, I can't believe he is gone. How does one person have such an affect on some many? In his next comment , He was a musical genius. Yes he was! Bill, you did a fabulous job with this! Thank you David for sharing your photo's, that was so kind of you!

Zillion stars ovation!!!!!

Bill's middle name is "WONDERFUL"...it must be as much as Bev and I keep saying it! Love this one a BUNCH!

Thank you for all your wonderful videos of Dan Fogelberg...he certainly was a genius storyteller. This song, though, has special meaning...as Dan's concert was the last thing that my mom was able to attend before she was bedridden fighting cancer. We were able to go together....sat 3 rows from stage...and he opened up with this song...I looked over to my mom and tears were streaming down her cheeks....man...what a memory...I will NEVER forget -- I hope they are both enjoying music now!

Hi,definitely the Shakespeare of musical literature.

Such soul insight,born of music.

Thanks for introducing me to Dan,and sharing his great lyrics.

Another fantastic video - the pictures at Red Rocks are unbelievable. I saw Dan at Red Rocks many times. Best place for a concert under the stars! Saw the Beatles play there in the days before assigned seating and we had to camp out the night before to get in line - can't believe my Mom let me do that (I was 13 years old). Every concert at Red Rocks is terrific, but that one with Firefall was very special. Every time Dan played there it was special. Thank you so much for sharing! Memories!

Another Winner Bill! I can't tell you how many times I saw him play at Red Rocks - it is the best place for a concert! Thank you so much!

[DANSFANFOREVER]

Bill, again another beautiful tribute to "The Leader of the Band"...beautiful! :) Thank you so much!

There is magic in THIS moment listening to this!

[lgblanton]

Great to see the clips of Red Rocks! I live just a few miles from there. The most "magical" place to hear music. I saw Dan perform here in 1991, and also John Denver in the late 70s. Thanks for this memorable tribute to one of music's most gifted treasures.
