    LYRICS
    Blossom by James Taylor
    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 any 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
    La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

      Absolutely. No cell phones or social media. Just people enjoying great music and the company of others.
