You know how I tried keep you by my side
You know how I cried the day you said goodbyeDay by day, I’m losing my blues
More and more, I’m forgetting about youBut oh, how I tried keep you by my side
And oh, how I cried the day you said goodbyeDay by day, I’m losing my blues
More and more, I’m forgetting about youDay by day, I’m losing my blues
More and more, I’m forgetting about you

Here’s Van Morrison’s album version:
-Egil
You cannot recreate an original because that is what it is.
Originals are becoming a rare breed, more so in the music industry.
I feel honoured to have lived in the era of the likes of the above 2 people.
Wouldn’t it be grand if Bob and Van would collaborate on a whole album some day (soon).
I have had the boot for 17 years but never saw the video. Thanks for putting it up!
This comes from a short series of shows at MSG. I saw the first show on Jan 16 (I remember specifically because it’s my wife’s birthday), and Bob & Van did not perform together that night. I wish. This video is from 2 nights later.
It’s not a Hank Williams song. It’s a Webb Pierce song, that Pierce wrote with Merle Kilgore.
Indeed it is, thanks Peter.
I will update the post asap.
Great to see Dylan and Van enjoying themselves
