View Lyrics

This was the follow-up to "Mockingbird," which was Taylor's duet with her husband at the time, James Taylor. Here, a once sad, unfulfilled woman has discovered happiness and has turned her back on a past that once seemed hopeless. (thanks, Mike - Santa Barbara, CA)

I use this song like a mantra when I am feeling blue for too long.

That song says something about true happiness. When you are focused on others you have no time to feel sorry for yourself.

- Martin, Fresno, CA

One of Carly Simon's best. It's easy to sing along to this tune, all the words are so easy to remember, even after all these years.
