Almost heaven West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains Shenandoah River Life is old there older than the trees Younger than the mountains growing like breeze Country road take me home To the place I belong West Virginia mountain mama Take me home country road All my memories gather round her Miner's lady stranger to blue water Dark and dusty painted on the sky Misty taste of moon shine Teardrop in my eye Country road take me home To the place I belong West Virginia mountain mama Take me home country road I hear her voice in the morning hours she calls me The radio reminds me of my home far away And driving down the road I get a feeling That I should have been home yesterday yesterday Country road take me home To the place I belong West Virginia mountain mama Take me home country road Country road take me home To the place I belong West Virginia mountain mama Take me home country road Take me home country roads Take me home country roads |

It's by far the hardest thing I've ever done
To be so in love with you and so alone Follow me where I go What I do and who I know Make it part of you to be a part of me Follow me up and down All the way and all around Take my hand and say you'll follow me It's long been on my mind You know, it's been a long, long time I'll try to find the way that I can make You understand The way I feel about you And just how much I need you To be there where I can talk to you When there's no one else around Follow me where I go What I do and who I know Make it part of you to be a part of me Follow me up and down All the way and all around Take my hand and say you'll follow me You see, I'd like to share my life with you And show you things I've seen Places that I'm going to And places where I've been To have you there beside me And never be alone And all the time that you're with me Then we will be at home Follow me where I go What I do and who I know Make it part of you to be a part of me Follow me up and down All the way and all around Take my hand and say you'll follow me Copyright 1969 by Cherry Lane Music publishing co.

It's a long way from LA to Denver
It's a long time to hang in the sky It's a long way home to Starwood in Aspen Sweet Rocky Mountain Paradise Oh my sweet Rocky Mountain Paradise Springtime is rolling round slowly Grey skies are bringing me down I can't remember when I've even been so lonely I forgot what it's like to be home Can't remember what it's like to be home I think on my lady, sweet memories I think on my children's sweet smiles I think on my home in Starwood in Aspen All my friends and the snow covered hills All my friends are the snow covered hills And I tell you I'm happy to be here To share and consider this time For I see here the shadows of changes And a feeling of new friends to find And I see here some new friends to find It's a long way from this place to Denver It's a long time to hang in the sky It's a long way home to Starwood in Aspen The sweet Rocky Mountain paradise Oh my sweet Rocky Mountain paradise |

I'll walk in the rain by your side I'll cling to the warmth of your hand I'll do anything to keep you satisfied I'll love you more than anybody can And the wind will whisper your name to me Little birds will sing along in time Leaves will bow down when you walk by And morning bells will chime I'll be there when you're feelin' down To kiss away the fears if you cry I'll share with you all the happiness I've found A reflection of the love in your eyes And I'll sing you the songs of the rainbow A whisper of the joy that is mine And leaves will bow down when you walk by And morning bells will chime I'll walk in the rain by your side I'll cling to the warmth of your tiny hand I'll do anything to help you understand And I'll love you more than anybody can And the wind will whisper your name to me Little birds will sing along in time Leaves will bow down when you walk by And morning bells will chime Words and music by john denver |

So you speak to me of sadness and the coming of the winter,
Fear that is within you now that seems to never end, And the dreams that have escaped you and a hope that you've forgotten And you tell me that you need me now and you want to be my friend, And you wonder where we're going, where's the rhyme and where's the reason, And it's you cannot accept it is here we must begin To seek the wisdom of the children and the graceful way of flowers in the wind. For the children and the flowers are my sisters and my brothers, Their laughter and their loveliness would clear a cloudy day. Like the music of the mountains and the colors of the rainbow They're a promise of the future and a blessing for today. Though the cities start to crumble and the towers fall around us The sun is slowly fading and it's colder than the sea. It is written: From the desert to the mountains they shall lead us, By the hand and by the heart they will comfort you and me. In their innocence and trusting they will teach us to be free. For the children and the flowers are my sisters and my brothers, Their laughter and their loveliness would clear a cloudy day. And the song that I am singing is a prayer to non believers, Come and stand beside us we can find a better way. |

All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go,
I'm standing here outside your door, I hate to wake you up to say good-bye. But the dawn is breakin', It's early morn, The taxi's waitin' He's blowin' his horn, Already I'm so lonesome I could die. So kiss me and smile for me, Tell me that you'll wait for me, Hold me like you'll never let me go. 'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane, Don't know when I'll be back again, Oh, babe, I hate to go. There's so many times I've let you down So many times I've played around, I tell you now they don't mean a thing. Ev'ry place I go I'll think of you, Ev'ry song I sing I'll sing for you, When I come back I'll bring your wedding ring. So kiss me and smile for me, Tell me that you'll wait for me, Hold me like you'll never let me go. 'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane, Don't know when I'll be back again, Oh, babe, I hate to go. Now the time has come to leave you, One more time let me kiss you, Then close your eyes I'll be on my way. Dream about the days to come When I won't have to leave alone, About the times I won't have to say: Kiss me and smile for me. Tell me that you'll wait for me, Hold me like you'll never let me go. 'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane, Don't know when I'll be back again, Oh, babe, I hate to go. I'm leavin' on a jet plane, Don't know when I'll be back again, Oh, babe, I hate to go. |

The Eagle And The Hawk
Words and Music by John Denver and Mike Taylor I am the eagle, I live in high countryIn rocky cathedrals that reach to the sky I am the hawk and there's blood on my feathers But time is still turning they soon will be dry And all those who see me and all who believe in me Share in the freedom I feel when I fly Come dance with the west wind and touch on the mountain tops Sail o'er the canyons and up to the stars And reach for the heavens and hope for the future And all that we "can" be, not what we are |

Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy.
내 어깨위로 비추는 햇살이 날 행복하게 하네요 Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry. 내 눈에 비추는 햇살이 날 슬프게 하네요 Sunshine on the water looks so lovely. 물위로 반짝이는 햇살이 너무 아름답게 보여요 Sunshine almost always makes me high. 햇살은 항상 내 기분을 들뜨게 만들어요 If I had a day that I could give you 나 당신에게 둘수 있는 하루가 있다면 I'd give to you a day just like today. 오늘같이 햇살 맑은 날을 드리고 싶어요 If I had a song that I could sing for you 내가 당신을 위해 부를 수 있는 노래가 있다면 I'd sing a song to make you feel this way. 이런 햇살 맑은 느낌으로 부르고 싶어요 Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy. 내 어깨위로 비추는 햇살이 날 행복하게 하네요 Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry. 내 눈에 비추는 햇살이 날 슬프게 하네요 Sunshine on the water looks so lovely. 물위로 반짝이는 햇살이 너무 아름답게 보여요 Sunshine almost always makes me high. 햇살은 항상 내 기분을 들뜨게 만들어요 If I had a tale that I could tell you 내가 당신에게 줄 수 있는 이야기가 있다면 I'd tell a tale sure to make you smile. 그 이야기로 당신을 웃음짓게 하겠죠 If I had a wish that I could wish for you 내가 당신을 위해 소망하는 바램이 있다면 I'd make a wish to sunshine all the while. 항상 햇살처럼 빛나는 바램을 가지겠죠 Sunshine almost the time makes me high 햇살은 항상 내 기분을 들뜨게 만들어요 Sunshine almost always. 그 햇살이 항상 |

It's five o'clock this morning and the sun is on the rise
There's frosting on the windowpane and sorrow in your eyes The stars are fading quietly, the night is nearly gone And so you turn away from me, and tears begin to come. And it's goodbye, again I'm sorry to be leaving you Goodbye, again As if you didn't know It's goodbye, again And I wish you could tell me Why do we always fight when I have to go? It seems a shame to leave you now, you lay so soft and warm I long to lay me down again and hold you in my arms I long to wipe the tears away and bring you back the smile But other voices beckon me and for a little while... And it's goodbye, again I'm sorry to be leaving you Goodbye, again As if you didn't know It's goodbye, again And I wish you could tell me Why do we always fight when I have to go? Have to go and see some friends of mine Some that I don't know Some who aren't familiar with my name It's something that's inside of me Not hard to understand If anyone will listen to me sing And if your hours are empty now, then who I am to blame? You think if I were always here, our love would be the same But as it is the time we have is worth the time alone And lying by your side the greatest peace I've ever known. And it's goodbye, again I'm sorry to be leaving you Goodbye, again As if you didn't know It's goodbye, again And I wish you could tell me Why do we always fight when I have to go? |

I've been lately thinkin' about my life's time
All the things I've done and how it's been And I can't help believin' in my own mind I know I'm gonna hate to see it end I've seen a lot of sunshine, slept out in the rain Spent a night or two all on my own I've known my lady's pleasures, had myself some friends Spent a time or two in my own home And I have to say it now, it's been a good life all in all It's really fine to have the chance to hang around Lie there by the fire and watch the evening tire While all my friends and my old lady sit and pass a pipe around And talk of poems, and prayers and promises and things that we believe in How sweet it is to love someone, how right it is to care How long it's been since yesterday, what about tomorrow? And what about our dreams and all the memories we share? The days they pass so quickly now, nights are seldom long Time around me whispers when it's cold The changes somehow frighten me, still I have to smile It turns me on to think of growing old For though my life's been good to me, there's still so much to do So many things my mind has never known I'd like to raise a family, I'd like to sail away And dance across the mountains on the moon And I have to say it now, it's been a good life all in all It's really fine to have the chance to hang around Lie there by the fire and watch the evening tire While all my friends and my old lady sit and pass a pipe around And talk of poems, and prayers and promises and things that we believe in How sweet it is to love someone, how right it is to care How long it's been since yesterday, what about tomorrow? And what about our dreams and all the memories we share? |

He was born in the summer of his 27th year
Coming home to a place he'd never been before He left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born again You might say he found a key for every door When he first came to the mountains, his life was far away On the road and hanging by a song But the string's already broken and he doesn't really care It keeps changin' fast and it don't last for long It's the Colorado Rocky Mountain high I've seen it raining fire in the sky The shadows from the starlight are softer than a lullaby Rocky Mountain high (Colorado) Rocky Mountain high (high in Colorado) He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds below He saw everything as far as you can see And they say that he got crazy once and he tried to touch the sun And he lost a friend but kept the memory Now he walks in quiet solitude, the forests and the streams Seeking grace in every step he takes His sight is turned inside himself to try and understand The serenity of a clear blue mountain lake And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high I've seen it raining fire in the sky Talk to God and listen to the casual reply Rocky Mountain high (high in Colorado) Rocky Mountain high (high in Colorado) Now his life is full of wonder but his heart still knows some fear Of the simple things he cannot comprehend Why they try to tear the mountains down to bring in a couple more More people, more scars upon the land In the Colorado Rocky Mountain high I've seen it raining fire in the sky I know he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle fly Rocky Mountain high The Colorado Rocky Mountain high I've seen it raining fire in the sky Friends around the campfire and everybody's high Rocky Mountain high (high in Colorado) Rocky Mountain high (high in Colorado) Rocky Mountain high (high in Colorado) Rocky Mountain high (high in Colorado) Rocky Mountain high (high in Colorado) Rocky Mountain high (high in Colorado) |
