He may have spent the last several years as a punchline to jokes about the wimpy singer-songwriters of the ’70s, but I always thought this was the sweetest, saddest farewell song, so I can’t imagine any more appropriate manner in which to bid farewell to Dan Fogelberg, who succumbed to cancer after a hard-fought battle of several years. This isn’t the best version of the song, but it’s the only one on YouTube that’s actually by Fogelberg, and, believe me, it wouldn’t be much of a tribute if I put up one of the random amateurs who’ve decided to “pay tribute” by covering the song.
