Hello all, I have a song by Gordon going around in my mind but for the life of me I just can't remembe the name of the song. Part of the lyrics are "Open the door my little one"... if memory serves me correctly. Any "help"/ Old age must be setting in with me

I need to check, but this sounds similiar to a line in "your loves return" from the "if you could read my mind" album.

you're correct Dan!
Your Love's Return(Song for Stephen Foster) (If You Could Read My Mind) 3:55

Come to the door my pretty one
Put on your rings and precious things
Hide all your tears as best you can
Try to recall what used to be
Roses are waiting for dewdrops to fall
Climbing your windows and walls
Bells in steeple are ringing, singing
Listen to them talk about your love's return

Let me come in my pretty one
And try to undo what I have done
For I must be forgiven now
I will not lose what I have won

Roses are waiting for dewdrops to fall
Climbing your windows and walls
Leaves in the garden are falling, calling
Listen to them talk about your love's return

Open the door my pretty one
Wake from your sleep and take me home
Open your eyes and look my way
I cannot leave your love alone

Roses are waiting for dewdrops to fall
Climbing your windows and walls
Bells in steeple are ringing, singing
Listen to them talk about your love's return

If you gotta have a Gordon Lightfoot song in your mind,that's one of the best one's to have!!

Either that or "Couchiching!"

Another classic to have ambling in your mind is the "Carefree Highway". either that or "The No Hotel"
