Dan Fogelberg was married to his first wife Maggie from 1982-1985 so it would make sense that this song is about her
This is a picture of Dan and Maggie
In 1992 I saw Dan Fogelberg perform this song in concert at the Desert Sky Pavilion in Phoenix, Arizona
If I could ever say it
right
And reach your hostage heart despite
The doubts you harbor then you might
Come to believe in me
The life I lead is not
the kind
That gives a woman peace of mind
I only hope someday you'll find
That you can believe in me
Those other loves that
came before
Mean nothing to me anymore
But you can never be quite sure
And will not believe in me
Too many hearts have
been broken
Failing to trust what they feel
But trust isn't something that's spoken
And love's never wrong when it's real
If I could only do one
thing
Then I would try to write and sing
A song that ends your questioning
And makes you believe in me
And makes you believe in me
Oh, you can believe in me
~~~ Dan Fogelberg ~~~
