Sanborn, who suffered from polio in his youth, has been a highly regarded session player since the mid 1970s. One of his first professional gigs was as a member of Paul Butterfield's band. One of Sanborn's earliest guest recordings was on David Bowie's Young Americans. Around this time his output as a session player became prolific and over the next ten years he played with a dazzling array of artists, such as Paul Simon, James Taylor (contributing to the remake of the Marvin Gaye classic "How Sweet It Is"), The Rolling Stones, The Eagles and Stevie Wonder.
In the late 1980s he was a regular guest member of Paul Shaffer's band on Late Night with David Letterman. From 1988-89, he co-hosted a late-night TV music show on NBC with Jools Holland. The show, "Night Music", following producer Hal Willner's eclectic approach, drew Sanborn together with many famed musicians, such as Miles Davis, Lou Reed, Santana, Curtis Mayfield, and many others.
Throughout his career, Sanborn has skirted the edges of free jazz: In his youth he studied with Roscoe Mitchell and Julius Hemphill, and performed on Tim Berne's Diminutive Mysteries, dedicated to Hemphill. His 1991 album Another Hand, produced by Hal Willner, features Charlie Haden, Jack DeJohnette, Bill Frisell, Marc Ribot, and various other players not usually associated with smooth jazz.
In television, Sanborn is well-known for his sax solo in the theme song for the NBC hit drama L.A. Law. He has also dabbled in writing for film, contributing to such scores as Lethal Weapon and Scrooged.
In 2004, David Sanborn was inducted into the St. Louis Walk of Fame.

Love Will Come Someday
David Sanborn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Love is gentle, love is kind in the nighttime.
Funny we can be so sad,
It doesn't have to be so bad in the daytime.
You want to know, where do the songs all go in your lifetime?
One of these days we'll go and find out where they stay.
Once upon a lover's song,
There was a boy who sang along in the nighttime.
There was a tale of broken wings in the daytime.
You want to know, where do the songs all go in your lifetime?
One of these days we'll go and find out where they stay.
And I know, love will come someday.
And I know, love will find a way.
And I know, love will come some way.
And I know, love will change your day.
The songs that I bring, the songs that I singâ?¦yeah.
Catch a piece of falling star,
Try to keep it in a jar till the morning.
Catch a summer firefly,
Pray that it'll stay alive till the dawning'.
You want to know, where do the songs all go in your lifetime?
One of these days we'll go and find out where they stay.
And I know, love will come someday.
And I know, love will find a way.
And I know, love will come some way.
And I know, love will change your day.
The songs that I bring, the songs that I singâ?¦
Love will come some day.
And I know, love will find a way.
And I know, love will come some way.
And I know, love will change your day.
And I know, love will come some day.
And I know, love will find a way.
And I know, love will come some way.
And I know, love will change your day.
And I know
, love will come someday" is a song that talks about the fluidity of love and the hope that it can be found. The lyrics suggest that love can exist in both the dark and the light; in the night time and the daytime. Love is portrayed as something that is gentle and kind, and the line "Funny we can be so sad, it doesn't have to be so bad in the daytime" suggests that love can help alleviate sadness during the day. The song also suggests that music can hold a special place in our lives - the line "You want to know, where do the songs all go in your lifetime? One of these days we'll go and find out where they stay" suggests that songs have a life of their own and that they can have a significant impact on us.
The chorus of the song ("And I know, love will come someday...") emphasises the hope and optimism that the singer has for love. The repetition of the line "and I know" suggests that the singer is sure of the eventual arrival of love, even if it's not right now. The final lines of the song ("Love will come some day. And I know, love will find a way. And I know, love will come some way. And I know, love will change your day.") reinforce the idea that love can change people's lives.
