Believe in Me

About Believe in Me

"Believe in Me" is the title of a popular song written and recorded by the American singer-songwriter Dan Fogelberg. The song appears on Fogelberg's eighth studio album Windows and Walls (1984). When "Believe in Me" was recorded in May 1983, Fogelberg handled most of the musical creation himself, playing guitar and bass as well as recording his vocals; musician Mike Hanna (who played acoustic guitar on the track) was the only other performer in the studio. Fogelberg later described the song in the liner notes to a retrospective album: "One of my best love songs. Written at my old house in Nederland, Colorado, while building the ranch. Obviously, all was not well."Released as the second single from Windows and Walls, "Believe in Me" missed the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart, where it peaked at #48. However, on the Billboard adult contemporary chart, where Fogelberg had enjoyed more consistent success, the song became his fourth #1 hit, following his earlier singles "Longer", "Leader of the Band", and "Make Love Stay". more »

If I could ever say it right 
And reach your hostage heart despite 
The doubts you harbor then you might 
Come to believe in me 

The life I lead is not the kind 
That gives a woman peace of mind 
I only hope someday you'll find 
That you can believe in me 

Those other loves that came before 
Mean nothing to me anymore 
But you can never be quite sure 
And will not believe in me 

Too many hearts have been broken 
Failing to trust what they feel 
But trust isn't something that's spoken 
And love's never wrong when it's real 

If I could only do one thing 
Then I would try to write and sing 
A song that ends your questioning 
And makes you believe in me 

And makes you believe in me 
Oh, you can believe in me
