Well my spirit was there tonight
Rising up in the northern air
And everyone was alright
My shell vacant but I was there
Sweet chords floated over the crowd
My soul danced along
You could find me behind the smiles
In song after song
Miles away but right next to you
I know it’s not the same
Circumstance pays a heavy toll
There’s no one here to blame
It’s nights like these that you’ll remember
It’s a feeling deep inside
It’s the comfort in a song
That only JT can provide
Let those sweet chords carry you
They’ve carried me mile after mile
Let his music fill your heart
Remember me in your smile
Don’t shed a tear with daddy’s all gone
I’m right by your side
In the midst of his songs
Our spirits will collide
My spirit was there with you tonight
Rising up in the northern air
Everyone was feeling alright
With James at the New York State Fair
08/31/2006
Author's Note: My daughter called me from the NY state fair tonight where James Taylor was in concert..You may be able to tell from some of my writings he is my favaoite artist, She was there with my sister and her family...so I jotted down this lyric
JT has always been one of my favorites. When I sometimes feel down, I sing "Sweet Baby James." Such achingly beautiful lyrics, I couldn't help but have tears in my eyes from the love you've expressed.
