Lyrics Part XXI?

[exitseven]

I am a big fan of Gordon Lightfoot and I have heard this song before but never really listened to it until yesterday. He has a girlfriend that he does not love and apologizes in advance if he hurts her. I just don't know what to think.

I'm not sayin' I'll be sorry
For all the things that I might say that make you cry
I can't say I'll always do
The things you want me to
I'm not sayin' I'll be true but I'll try

[TrueConfection]

I don't know this song, but it kind of reminds of Meatloaf's Paradise by the Dashboard Light.

And when the feeling came upon me like a tidal wave
Started swearing to my god and on my mother's grave
That I would love you to the end of time
I swore I would love you to the end of time!

So now I'm praying for the end of time
To hurry up and arrive
'Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you
I don't think that I can really survive
I'll never break my promise or forget my vow
But God only knows what I can do right now
I'm praying for the end of time
It's all that I can do
Praying for the end of time
So I can end my time with you!

Yes, sort of. I listened to this at the gym and it just made me sad.

[TrueConfection]

Oh no! That's not good workout music of it makes you sad Professor!

[exitseven]

it just took me by surprise.

[TrueConfection]

Thank you for the MHO ❤

Most of his songs were good. Wonder why he stopped writing and performing them?

@dubiousintentions Gordon Lightfoot is 84 years old. He is still doing shows and still writing songs. He is performing in Florida this winter.
Check this website and maybe he will be coming through your town.

I saw some pics of him. He looks like your typical 70's musician.

I saw him perform in the 80s. It was the first real official date I had with my future wife.

[AviatorTom]

Gordon Lightfoot songs are an insight to how people live.

I've heard this before... like you, I never really paid attention to the lyrics. Thanks for sharing.

He has some really amazing songs. Too bad everyone just knows the Rectum of Edmund Fitzgerald.

[LiamJHayden]

Well it is an attitudinal upgrade over "For Lovin' Me"

[exitseven]

yes 😊😊😊

[LiamJHayden]

I love his music. More so songs you don't hear played on radio like "Cotton Jenny" "Bitter Green" "Daylight Katy" "Race Among the Ruins" etc.

My fave is The Last Time I Saw Her. I saw him perform many years ago and he conspicuously did not sing this one

[Daniela1982]

My favorite of his is Beautiful.

[lightbulb27]

I know his popular songs but not this one.

It may go back to the 60s

[lightbulb27]

he had some other songs that sound like a followup to that one...

[lightbulb27]

[Sparkie460]

You live under a smaller rock. Lmao

[Fuentes]
