---------------------------------------------------------- JAMES TAYLOR - BLOSSOM. From SWEET BABY JAMES album. Released 1970. ---------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by:PJVillanueva Blossom, smile some sunshine down my way lately, I've been lonesome. Blossom, it's been much too long a day, seems my dreams have frozen, melt my cares away. Send the sunshine down my way whenever you call my name, I know what you mean to say to me, girl, it's all the same. Blossom, there's an empty road behind, sit you down beside me. Blossom, there's a sweet dream on my mind, there's a song inside me, take these chains away. Now, send the sunshine down my way whenever you call my name, I know what you mean to say to me, girl, it's all the same. Blossom, smile some sunshine down my way lately, I've been lonesome. Blossom, it's been much too long a day, seems my dreams have frozen, melt my cares away.
