You give to me As a lover and a friend Its hard to say where the one leaves off And the other one begins You give to me Like the sunlight in my day You shine your love down over me And melt my cares away And I don't know what I'd do Without those gifts from you Even thought it sometimes Doesn't show And I don't know how I'd live Without the love you give to me Peg I sing this song To let you know You give to me Like the sea gives to the shore Rushing in like the tide of my dreams You leave me wanting more And you give to me Like the stars up in the sky You fill my eyes with wonderment And make me realize That I don't know what I'd do Without those gifts from you Even though it sometimes Doesn't show And I don't know how I'd live Without the love you give to me Peg I sing this song To let you know Never knew before Just what I'd missed I never knew that love Could be as strong as this Every little thing that you say and do Makes me fall deeper in love with you Forever more You give to me Like the sunlight in my day You shine your love down over me And melt my cares away And you give to me As a lover and a friend Its hard to say where the ones leaves off And the other one begins And I don't know what I'd do Without those gifts from you Even though it sometimes Doesn;t show And I don't know how I'd live Without the love you give to me Peg I sing this song to let you know Sing this song of love to let you know |

Peggy's Song |

Peggy's Notes I just don't have anything bad to say about this song. In fact it could just about be my favorite song of all. I wonder why. |
Peggy's Song |
The Vagrantz: The Roads Not Taken |



Doc's Notes It would be an understatement to say that quite a few songs were written in the apartment Peggy and I had on Locust Street in Wrwick, New York. We loved this town! Despite life's usual ups and downs this was one of the happiest times of our lives! We did everything together! We still do. At this particular place and time I wrote the lyrics based on my very own personal muse, my wife, Peg. Mark wrote the music and we worked out the harmonies and the middle bridge. The version of Peggy's Song appering on 'The Roads Not Taken' CD comes from one of our recording sessions in the fall of 1987 working in the kitchen or on the back porch. We had slow versions and fast versions.In 2004 Peggy took her favorite version and added reverb, flanger and phase-shifter as production engineer . Hey, it's HER song. I guess I don't have to add that it is a love song written about the undying love I have for my soulmate. Thank you Peg, and Mark for making it so special. |
