Glad this song is here in the forum and with the proper authorship. In typical internet-posting sloppiness, most places I found this song on the net have Dan Fogelberg credited as the songwriter, presumably because way too many people ignorantly assume that whoever they first hear singing the song must have written it too but I digress.

The only question I have about the lyrics is whether the chorus lyrics are "... hard to lose a lover ... " or "... hard to lose your lover ... ."   On my Fogelberg album ("High Country Snows") it sounds like "your lover," and that sounds more personal and important to me than "a lover."   But it probably matters little which you sing, and I'm not sure your audience can tell anyway.
