Eagles - 'I Wish You Peace'

I had this song picked for today long before I saw the NaBloPoMo prompt.

I don't know if it's so much a song that changed my life, as one that's stuck with me through 20+ years.  Way back a couple of life times ago, near graduation, this song was played for a small group of us.  Our fearless leader, Miles, played it as his farewell to the Jazz Band Seniors.

I'm not sure exactly what it says about me, but I've held onto it all these years.  The sentiments say a lot and the music holds just the right feel for the lyrics.

I've "given" this song many times in many places for many reasons and today is yet another one of those moments.

So to You, in this moment, I give you this wish.

The ninth and final track from the Eagles' fourth album, One of These Nights, released in 1975.

LYRICS:

I wish you peace when the cold winds blow
Warmed by the fire's glow
I wish you comfort in the, the lonely time
And arms to hold you when you ache inside

I wish you hope when things are going bad
Kind words when times are sad
I wish you shelter from the, the raging wind
Cooling waters at the fever's end

I wish you peace when times are hard
The light to guide you through the dark
And when storms are high and your, your dreams are low

I wish you the strength to let love grow on,
I wish you the strength to let love flow,

I wish you peace when times are hard
A light to guide you through the dark
And when storms are high and your, you dreams are low
I wish you the strength to let let grown on,
I wish you the strength to let love flow,
I wish you the strength to let love glow on
I wish you the strength to let love go on.
