Description

The sweet scent of the beautiful white magnolia blossom is a delight for the senses. You know how difficult it can be at times to arrive at a title, but not this one. My inspiration immediately came after remembering Dan Fogelberg's tune, "Sweet Magnolia." Here are his lyrics from this master of music and lyrics who is sadly no longer with us.

"Two hearts throwing off sparks, Young and in love with our freedom Moonlight. The soft southern nights, We were both ripe to fall. Well I was out on my own Playing for all who would listen, And you were as free as a bird Flying from nest to nest. But somewhere our eyes met And our hands reached out And we felt a kindred spirit And as our faces touched. I could feel the fire And needed so to just be near it Oh lord, those moments we soared, Borne on the wings of our passion It seemed then like they'd never end But times like that always must Cause then one day I flew far away from you. I never knew how I'd regret it, My sweet Magnolia belle. You know I've loved you well Even if I never said it Magnolia, now I see that freedom isn't free And love's the only true redeemer And when this journey's through I'll be coming back for you If you'll have this foolish dreamer. I spend a night now and then passing through town on my travels But someday I'm gonna come back to stay Magnolia, I'm coming home"
