All I Know
All I Know I bruise you, you bruise me We both bruise too easily Too easily to let it show I love you, and that's all I know All my plans have fallen through All my plans depend on you Depend on you to help them grow I love you, and that's all I know When the singer's gone Let the song go on... But the ending always comes at last Endings always come too fast They come too fast, but they pass too slow I love you, and that's all I know When the singer's gone Let the song go on It's a fine line between the darkness and the dawn They say the darkest night There's a light beyond But the ending always comes at last Endings always come too fast They come too fast, but they pass too slow I love you, and that's all I know That's all I know That's all I know Ahhhhhhhhhhh, as you read those lyrics can you hear the sweet sound of Art Garfunkel singing them? Now think, who wrote those words? Who? I never gave it a thought before. I have listened to that song and loved it for what seems like my entire life. I guess I have always assumed that they were written by Garfunkel, if not, I would have gone for Paul Simon. No one else ever would cross my mind. However, on Saturday night I went to see a performance at the Town Crier Cafe in Pawling by Jimmy Webb. I purchased the tickets for the evening although I had never heard Webb sing. What I knew about him is he had written a number of songs for Glen Campbell and I had seen his name of other albums (but I couldn't have told you which ones). I've come to realize that the reason I remember his name is the number of times it must have been on albums. The man is a prolific songwriter. I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed the show Saturday. He sings well and to my surprise he is the writer of many of the songs that were my very favorites back in the 70's. "Both Sides Now", "Up Up and Away", and "Macarthur Park". His stories were captivating and hilarious. "Don't count the days, make the days count" |

He also wrote on of my favorites, Wichita Lineman.
