PAMELA JO BOWMAN – MESA AZ

I love music. As a teenager I was introduced to Dan Fogelberg. His words touched me then and they still touch me today. On my favorite album, Homefree, there are many songs that ring true for me. Today I was reminded of the following haunting melody and stirring words. If you have a moment I recommend listening to it and feel what it means to you.

To The Morning
By Dan Fogelberg

Watching the sun
Watching it come
Watching it come up over the rooftops.

Cloudy and warm
Maybe a storm
You can never quite tell
From the morning.

And it’s going to be a day
There is really no way to say no
To the morning.

Yes it’s going to be a day
There is really nothing left to
Say but
Come on morning.

Waiting for mail
Maybe a tale
From an old friend
Or even a lover.

Sometimes there’s none
But we have fun
Thinking of all who might
Have written.

And maybe there are seasons
And maybe they change
And maybe to love is not so strange.

The sounds of the day
They hurry away
Now they are gone until tomorrow.

When day will break
And you will wake
And you will rake your hands
Across your eyes
And realize

That it’s going to be a day
There is really no way to say no
To the morning.

Yes it’s going to be a day
There is really nothing left to say but
Come on morning.
