I juts heard this song on the radio earlier today. It's a piano ballad in the key of C, and it's a very contemporary Christmas song. It was playing on KMGL-FM. The chords are C and Am during the verses.

The melody pattern goes like this

la la-la la-la la-la LA la laaaa
la la-la la-la la-la LA la laaaa
e  e  e  e  e  e  e  q  q  h

e = eighth note
q = quarter note
h = half note

The verses are sung rather fast in a steady 8th-note rhythm by a young male singer. The lyrics escape me, but I think the earliest lyrics mention going to the store or something. Don't know if that helps.

The notes should be:

C                           Am
C  C-D  E -low G C-D E A C
e  e  e  e    e     e  e  q  q  h

Does anybody have the slightest clue what song this is? I am totally stumped!  :P Thanks in advance!

did you try calling the station to see if they have keep a song list for what played today? 
Maybe if you know what time it played they can help you out.

Chris, I wouldn't know what key a tune is in even if it kicked me in the tush.

Here's your station's Web site, contact them.

That's it!  ;D Thank you, Phillip, and thank you, YouTube!  :) It had kinda been driving me crazy, so I thought I'd check for new replies. A big thank you to everybody for helping me out.

I will listen to it myself very soon.

I love that song... but sorry Chris I never would have guessed if from your description.  ;D 

to quote agrimorfee.....

Chris, I wouldn't know what key a tune is in even if it kicked me in the tush.



;D

Sorry, I know this is quite a bit late, but yes, it was the late great Dan Fogelberg, one of the best musicians of our time.

:\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'(

RIP Dan!  We love you and miss you and our thoughts and prayers are with Jean and the rest of your family!
