Lightfoot, Gordon - Inspiration Lady Lyrics






She's my inspiration lady, inspiration everywhere.
She's my inspiration lady, she lights candles in the air.
In the warmth of the morning sun, and at night when the day is done,
She's my inspiration lady, my anticipation lady, sees my situation every day.

Seems like every time I see her, she's got something on her mind.
When she tells the age old story of the life she left behind.
In the warmth of the morning light, she will turn and hold me tight.
She's my inspiration lady, soft sad situation lady, sees my situation every day.

Seems like I will always love her, inspiration every day.
And I'd like to think, hey, maybe, I can drive her blues away.
In the warmth of the morning sun, and at night when the day is done,
she's my inspiration lady, she's my kind reaction lady, sees my situation every day.

She's my inspiration lady, my anticipation lady, she's my inspiration all the way.

    what an artist

  2. R.... R....

    I love this song and this video! It reminds me so much of my father. He has always been close to his Mom who now lives with my parents, I know he loves making her smile and helping her, then the way he looks at my mother still gets me. 28 years together and he still looks likes a star struck kid when he just stands and looks at her when she does not even know he is looking at her. Then the father he has been to me, my sister, and my two older brothers. I know he is close to my brothers and they have a ton in common with Dad, but it has always touched me how he has gone out of his way to do things with me and my sister that we liked just to spend time with us and be close to us. Without trying he is my inspiration.

    Gordon's the King ! Of America and Canada !

  4. E.... F....

    Latest album , new one this fall..............?

  5. K.... G....

    One of my very favourites 🎼
    🌟🦋🌟 enjoyed the Biography on Gordon Lightfoot last weekend at our local movie 🍿 house theatre 🎭 in Vancouver 👌

  6. H.... M....

    Wow, this is such a great song.

  7. M.... M....

    One of the best songs from GL's Harmony CD... in his younger days this would've been a hit record...

  8. a.... ....

    Here at Dec. 21, 2018 hearing this for the 1st time....love, love, love!!

  9. T.... N....

    Saw Gordon many many times in concert at Massey Hall in Toronto when I worked there and always to a packed house. Even if all the best seats were gone and I had to buy a pole seat (obstructed view) I would still go. Such an amazing musical genius. My family had a cottage just outside of Orillia and I think that’s where my love for his music started, because Gordon is from Orillia and everywhere you went you would hear his music playing. It’s been years now since I’ve been to one of his concerts, getting married and moving out of town made it more difficult but I still love his music and listen to it all the time. My favourites are Summer Side of Life, Carefree Highway, The Circle Is Small, Song For A Winter’s Night, If You Could Read My Mind and Sundown but I really love them all.

  10. S.... i....

    From the Album Harmony Stunning Beautiful Tune up there with If you could read my mind. A very much underplayed and underrated Melody World wide why I don't know. Keep going Gordon👍

  11. b.... ....

    Beautiful song, gorgeous video, words and music still as profoundly meaningful as always - we love you, Gordo !

  12. A.... K....

    I keep coming back to this one. What a lovely composition. His songs are a treasure trove.

  13. A.... K....

    I keep coming back to this brilliant little song. What a gem.

  14. D.... L....

    A beautiful song, it reminds me of all of the amazing women I’ve had the privilege to have known in my life.....from my mother to my sister to my wife and now my two grand daughters. It brings a smile to face and a tear to my eye.....

  15. C.... S....

    wonderful inspiration!

  16. S.... N....

    Wow just wow.

  17. J.... T....

    Ever since I was a child I've loved Gordon's music even though I did not know at the time what the lyrics ment.As I grew into a man I understand exactly what the lyrics meant 🙂I just came across this song and absolutely love it!! Thank you Mr.Lightfoot for the decades of beautiful meaningful music.God bless you sir.

  18. D.... S....

    He's a timeless troubadour, and I guess an "inspiration" to me.

  19. g.... ....

    A poet/songwriter and musician of the highest caliber, his music is some of the most powerful medicine for the soul you can find. Timeless indeed. Works best on Canadians of course..

    g.... ....

    Oh no my friend. I've been a fan and been inspired by Gordon Lightfoot since a young boy...down here in the USA. ❤

    g.... ....

    a real Canadian not influence by the USA culture

  20. T.... G....

    Where in Gordons Soul do the lyrics come from ?

    T.... G....

    from the heart

  21. H.... B....

    smooth and warm,like sunshine

  22. A.... &....

    My Amy Jo C. :) Love You Baby

  23. D.... S....

    Saw Gordon live in concert last week......a legendary artist. Great

  24. p.... b....

    I love Gordon Lightfoot. I wish I could see him live, but always eludes me every time he comes around. I am a 22 year old music lover and Lightfoot is my favorite after the Stones and Cat Stevens. The big 3 as I call them :) Gotta get this CD!

  25. S.... H....

    The video is as Magnificent & soothing as the song. Thank you.

  26. T.... G....

    🎼Gord Is A Timeless Genius , Born With Perfect Pitch And Writes Songs With A Sound Scape We All Relate To .!

  27. P.... J....

    Must be his most popular song of recent times and yet he never performs it in concert.

  28. S.... H....

    Here it is 2016 & I am hearing this for the first time. Shame on me. His golden voice & mastery of words brings tears to my eyes.  One of Canada's many many fine treasures shared with the world.

    S.... H....

    Steve Hawkins A great and beautiful song, for sure.

    S.... H....

    It's 2019 for me. as always such a soothing melody

    S.... H....

    for me, he is one of the few real Canadian singers not influenced by American music reflecting our culture and identity Not easy to be truly Canadian as for us Quebecers living with the influence of Americans and share all this with the world

  29. o.... ....

    My all time favourite Lightfoot tune. Beautiful.

    o.... ....

    Have you heard him sing 'Miguel'? Magical.

  30. D.... O....

    Just stunning, one of my favourite songs. It haunts you, stays with you, once you hear it. I play it now with my ballad group in Dublin, with banjo, whistle, mandolin and guitar.

  31. d.... ....

    Timeless, like the man.

  32. k.... ....

    Beautiful 💕

  33. R.... P....

    What a beautifully made video.

  34. J.... W....

    I don't think Gordon Lightfoot's voice is withering at all . This song is just wonderful
    ,

    J.... W....

    I saw him in Melborne Florida in the mid 90s. He was just recovering from something and appeared very ill. His voice is better now than it was even in his 50s

    J.... W....

    saw him last year in Boston. His voice is withering for sure, to deny that would be foolish. He also forgot some of his own lyrics etc. It was still a great show, my friend and I must have been the youngest ones there for sure. haha

  35. P.... C....

    Incredibly beautiful song and lyrics sung by The Best of The Best!!! 

  36. R.... C....

    Lightfoot can still deliver in his old age!

  37. h.... ....

    Awwww, such a beautiful song.  This is the first time I've heard it.

  38. C.... N....

    What an honor to be inspired by the one you love. 
    It's no wonder, that behind every successful man, there is an inspiring woman. 

  39. R.... S....

    this is nice, real nice.going to listen again.

  40. J.... P....

    Envolks many emotions.  At age 52... Gordon has been a life light.  My second marriage is failing.  Just a little "inspiration".  If Gordon believes - then, so do I. 

  41. L.... L....

    Wonderful!

  42. J.... B....

    It's an excellent song! If I had a lovely wife, this would be my dedication to her!

    J.... B....

    Jeffrey Baker I was told it was about his (now middle aged) daughter. Part of the beauty of the song as it leads to interpretations.

  43. E.... V....

    Ah I've been looking for this saw it years ago but couldn't remember the name

  44. T.... ....

    If only teens my age would like gordon lightfoot, life would be so much better without rap,etc

  45. N.... P....

    This song proves genius never dies.....

  46. e.... y....

    gord was a patient of mine. now the finger-picking of this song has me totally baffled. i have the ' official ' version but putting it all together......any help........

  47. d.... m....

    Love this Song!!!!!

  48. p.... ....

    Not on my cd .... but love it !

  49. B.... C....

    this video and song is from 2004. 2 years earlier, I briefly met Gordon Lightfoot as we sat in the waiting room in McMaster Hospial in Hamilton, ontario. we both had same surgeon. exchanged a few smiles, but never spoke. he wore a baseball cap, but I still recognized him. When he was admitted in the hospital, no one was allowed down the hall where his room was.
