Blossom

Below are lyrics to Blossom, my favorite James Taylor song. I've never seen him perform this particular song live, but I feel lucky that someone posted it on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8L8s34dPVSs

What a treat to see performances ranging from his early years to recent tributes.

He’s already sold out at Tanglewood this summer, so I’m disppointed we’ll miss him. I’m eager for Alan to see him perform since he’s such a fan. His new favorite JT song is There's a Well on the Hill. He sings this when running up and down our driveway. Unfortunately, JT uses the word "kill" in the song, so I have tried to overlap this by saying "chill". It's similar to SteamRoller when we sing over his famous last line.

There is also streaming audio of some of JT's newer songs at http://www.jamestaylor.com/

Enjoy!

Blossom

Blossom, smile some sunshine down my way
Lately, I’ve been lonesome
Blossom, its been much too long a day
Seems my dreams have frozen
Melt my cares away

Send the sunshine down my way whenever you call my name
I know what you mean to say to me, girl, its all the same

Blossom, there's an empty road behind
Sit you down beside me
Blossom, there's a sweet dream on my mind
There's a song inside me
Take these chains away

Now, send the sunshine down my way whenever you call my name
I know what you mean to say to me, girl, its all the same

Blossom, smile some sunshine down my way
Lately, Ive been lonesome

Blossom, its been much too long a day
Seems my dreams have frozen
Melt my cares away
