One of my all time favorite musicians, James Taylor, is celebrating his birthday today so I felt it only appropriate to pull out the old record player and play some of my favorite James Taylor tunes.
Like myself, James Taylor has touched the hearts of so many. His melodic voice and influential songs have always helped me get through some of life’s toughest obstacles. With lyrics that articulate real life situations and emotions, he has always made me feel like whatever I was going through, I wasn’t alone. That I could call out his name and no matter where he was, he would be there… And he was there.
“You’ve Got A Friend”
Oh, ye yeah, you’ve got a friend
I just want to stop, and thank you “Sweet Baby James” ’cause it’s been so sweet to be loved by you…
And, thank you for continuing to bring your beautiful music to the world. It’s always great to see your smiling face!
“Your Smiling Face”
Whenever I see your smiling face, I have to smile myself because I love you, yes, I do.
And when you give me that pretty little pout, it turns me inside out.
There’s something about you, baby, I don’t know.
Isn’t it amazing a man like me can feel this way,
tell me how much longer, it could grow stronger every day. Oh, how much longer?
I thought I was in love a couple of times before with the girl next door,
but that was long before I met you, now I’m sure that I won’t forget you.
And I thank my lucky stars that you are who you are,
and not just another lovely lady set out to break my heart.
Isn’t it amazing a man like me can feel this way,
tell me how much longer, it could grow stronger every day.
No one can tell me that I’m doing wrong today, whenever I see you smile at me.
No one can tell me that I’m doing wrong today whenever I see your smiling face my way.
No one can tell me that I’m doing it wrong today.
No one can tell me that I’m doing it wrong today.
James has just announced 13 US tour dates with Special Guest, Bonnie Raitt, kicking off July 6 in Newark, NJ!
