Listen to me and I’ll sing you a song
And the time will go by till you never know where it’s gone
Talk to me and I’ll tell you my life story
Walk with me and I’ll tell you my dreams of glory
There we are walking hand in hand
Somewhere on the sand
At the end of the land
And the edge of the shining sea
Drifting through time and space on the face of a little blue ball Falling
around the sun
One in a million, billion twinkling lights
Shining out for no one
In the middle of the night
Here we are
Sparks in the darkness
Speaking of our love
Burning down forever and forever
Oh, I don’t know if I told you
But you hold my heart in your hand
And I found out something about you baby
Without you I’m a lonely man
So though I never say that i love you, I love you
Darling I do
Carly, I do love you
And though we are as nothing to the stars that shine above
You are my universe, you are my love
Here we are, like children forever
Taking care of one another
While the world goes on without us, all around us
Read the posts about indiscretions. Live with someone suffering through depression and you will realize they "do" nothing. They simply put one foot in front of the other. Listen to "Another Grey Morning." Best description of depression I have ever heard. I have lived with someone with depression. Think of someone you love ...... then watch them implode on themselves.
Made me cry back then for their love story..makes me still cry now 40 yrs later...JT said in interview..their marriage was premature..he wasnt ready to be a responsible husband then..and the drug addiction was in the way...they probably r soulmates or even twin flames ..learned from one another...moved on..after this worldly life will meet again..or may reincarnate to be together that way....he matured with others...and is happier now with 3 rd wife..the light of god shines in him..hes pisces. Too bad Carly had to lash out at him in her book. Listen all to his interview about Drugs, beatles..and Carly think it was 2009
James Taylor sings so beautiful, It takes you back when life was so innocent . I wish James and Carly stayed together but James had some problems within himself but Carly still lives in there home Massachusetts but all things happen for reason and it was only for moment in time. James and Carly we love you.
As an 18 year old heading into adulthood, this is the kind of love I hope to be able to share with whomever my future partner may be. This song is and always will be precious beyond words.
I just read that if, by some chance, Carly hears this song, she is "gone for the day". Just magic. I am convinced she still holds him in her heart.
James wrote the best music when he was with Carly...my favorite part of the song is this....So though I never say that I love you, I love you, darling I do, Carly, I do love you.And though we are as nothing To the stars that shine above,You are my universe, you are my love.Here we are, like children forever, Taking care of one anotherWhile the world goes on without us, All around us.
I think he was touring and partying and living like a single man on the road and she stayed at home taking care of the family,he then saw her as a force that tried to "reign him in" and he couldnt handle it - She became like the "mother figure" ..not the exciting and sexy girlfriend anymore
