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? |

You can do whatever you want to do wherever you want to go it's up to you
And wouldn't it be fine following your heart playing your own part You and me out on a farm let the sun be our alarm Kicking off our shoes doing what we choose And wouldn't it be fine knowing that you're mine anytime you want to be I don't want to own you I just want to hold you I just want to need you I just like to see you smile and stay for awhile If the times get rough bein' free might be enough Keep our feelings warm see us through the storm Wouldn't it be fine looking back and knowing that we helped each other find You can do whatever you want to do wherever you want to go it's up to you And wouldn't it be fine following your heart playing your own part It's up to you it's up to you |

This song appears on four albums, and was first released on Spirit album. It has also been released on The Rocky Mountain Collection, Reflections: Songs of Love and Life and The Country Roads Collection albums.
I guess growing isn't hard to do Just stand against the wall Once I was just two feet high Today I'm six feet tall But knowing who to listen to Is something else again Words just whistle ‘round my head Like seasons in the wind All across the water the clouds are sailing They won't let me look at the sky All I want to do is try and find myself Come and let me look in your eyes In searching for the way to go I've followed all the rules The way they say to chooses between The wise men and the fools I listen to the words they say I read what I should read I do whatever's right to do Try to be what I should be Someone let me in I think the sky is falling Seems I've gotten lost on my way All I want to do is try and find myself Come and let me look in your eyes Ah, but wisdom isn't underground Nor on a mountainside And where am I to take myself There's no place here to hide All across the universe the stars are fading Seems we've gotten lost on our way All I want to do is try and find myself Come and let me look in your eyes Come and let me look in your eyes Come and let me look in your eyes Words by John Denver and Joe Henry - Music by John Denver |

You fill up my senses
Like a night in the forest Like the mountains in springtime Like a walk in the rain Like a storm in the desert Like a sleepy blue ocean You fill up my senses Come fill me again Come let me love you Let me give my life to you Let me drown in your laughter Let me die in your arms Let me lay down beside you Let me always be with you Come let me love you Come love me again Let me give my life to you Come let me love you Come love me again You fill up my senses Like a night in the forest Like the mountains in springtime Like a walk in the rain Like a storm in the desert Like a sleepy blue ocean You fill up my senses Come fill me again |

You're So Beautiful
This song appears on three albums, and was first released on the John Denver Album, and has also been released on the Reflections and The Country Roads Collection Albums. Born on a quiet morning Just a dream in someone's eyes A dream that's like a promise meant to be Giving rise to speculation On a place called paradise If I've ever been there It's when you were with me You're so beautiful I can't believe my eyes Each time I see you again You're so beautiful That I'm in paradise Each time I see you again I remember some hidden valley Where the skies are never still And alpine meadows burn in the evening light I remember the path to glory And the way around the hill I remember true love's eyes Shining in the night You're so beautiful I can't believe my eyes Each time I see you again You're so beautiful That I'm in paradise Each time I see you again And if paradise is everything you see Then the place you must be coming from Is ecstasy You're so beautiful That I can't believe my eyes Each time I see you again You're so beautiful That I'm in paradise Each time I see you again Just want to see you again I want to be with you again I just need to love you again Just wanna touch you again I just need to love you again I want to be with you again touch you again love you again with you again Words and music by John Denver |

Lady, are you crying, do the tears belong to me
Did you think our time together was all gone Lady, you've been dreaming, I'm as close as I can be And I swear to you our time has just begun Close your eyes and rest your weary mind I promise I will stay right here beside you Today our lives were joined, became entwined I wish that you could know how much I love you Lady, are you happy, do you feel the way I do Are there meanings that you've never seen before Lady, my sweet lady, I just can't believe it's true And it's like I've never, ever loved before (Chorus) Lady, are you crying, do the tears belong to me Did you think our time together was all gone Lady, my sweet lady, I'm as close as I can be And I swear to you our time has just begun |

I didn't think it could happen again
I'm just too old and set in my ways I was convinced I would always be lonely All of the rest of my days Maybe I give up on romance In my longing to give up the pain I just didn't believe I would ever love again I was like one who had shut myself in Closed the windows, locked all the doors Afraid of the dark and the beat of my heart Yet knowing there had to be more Though it sounds like a great contradiction It's the easiest thing to explain You see, I was afraid I might never love again What does it take for a blind man to see That there's more there than just meets the eye What are the ways that the magic comes in That can turn a song into a sigh Sometimes I think that I'm dreaming Or maybe I'm going insane Or maybe it's just that I'm falling in love again Here I am standing beside you Oh life's such a wonderful game Look at me now, I'm falling in love Look at me now, I'm falling in love Look at me now, I'm falling in love again |

I remember romance
Bubblebaths at night Breakfast in the afternoon Love by candlelight Love by candlelight I remember romance And lying in her arms Her hair across my shoulder Her breast upon my arm So soft upon my arm I remember romance And laughing at the moon Dancing at the rainbow's end And losing her too soon And losing her too soon I know we both are sorry I know we both still care Oh how could we have lost it A love beyond compare A love beyond compare Words and music by John Denver |

Of course we have our differences You shouldn't be surprised It's as natural as changes In the seasons and the skies Sometimes we grow together Sometimes we drift apart A wiser man than I might know The seasons of the heart And I'm walking here beside you In the early evening chill A thing we've always loved to do I know we always will We have so much in common So many things we share That I can't believe my heart When it implies that you're not there Love is why I came here in the first place Love is now the reason I must go Love is all I ever hoped to find here Love is still the only dream I know So I don't know how to tell you It's difficult to say I never in my wildest dreams Imagined it this way But sometimes I just don't know you There's a stranger in our home When I'm lying right beside you Is when I'm most alone And I think my heart is broken There's an emptiness inside So many things I've longed for Have so often been denied Still I wouldn't try to change you There's no one that's to blame It's just some things that mean so much And we just don't feel the same Love is why I came here in the first place Love is now the reason I must go Love is all I ever hoped to find here Love is still the only dream I know True love is still the only dream I know Words and music by John Denver |

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 goodbye But the dawn is breaking, it's early morn The taxi's waiting, 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 leaving 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 let you down So many times I've played around I tell you now, they don't mean a thing Every place I go, I'll think of you Every 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 leaving 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 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 Oh, 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 leaving on a jet plane Don't know when I'll be back again Oh babe, I hate to go But I'm leaving on a jet plane Don't know when I'll be back again Oh babe, I hate to go |

I've been out on this highway now
Five days in a row My words all run together My feet are movin' slow Ive got to stop and eat While its still light There's a local angel sitting on my right Do you believe in love at first sight Baby, you look good to me tonight I'm ordinarily very shy And I'd be polite if I had time Baby, you look good to me tonight Tomorrow, Ill be good and gone Please don't make me wait that long Baby, you look good to me tonight I get off at eleven, she said And walked away She poured a cup of coffee and She brought it on a tray She said, It would be nice if you could stay You're the best idea I've had all day Usually I put up a fight but Baby, you look good to me tonight Well I'm ordinarily very shy But I grinned at her as I ate my pie Baby, you look good to me tonight I thought I must be in a dream When she asked me if I wanted cream Baby, you look good to me tonight All in all you know It's not a bad life on the road If you've got wheels to roll And lucky stars above Your destiny's your own You go as far as you can go And if there's time to sleep There's time to make love I came, I saw, I conquered But I rode off in the sun But I know the look she left with me Keeps telling me she won Her face is the only thing I see Whispering those words of prophesy I may come easy, but I don't come free You're never gonna see the last of me Baby, you look good to me tonight I was born to love you now cant you see Baby, you look good to me tonight I'm ordinarily very shy But I take the time to satisfy Baby, you look good to me tonight |

This song was first released on the The Wildlife Concert Album. It is the only album it has been released on.
I see them dancing somewhere in the moonlight Somewhere in Alaska, somewhere in the sun I hear them singing a song for all lovers A song for the two hearts beating only as one Imagine the morning no longer alone The arms of another, a place to belong No longer the struggle, no longer the night And ever becoming in the quickening light To see the darkness, to listen within To answer in kindness, to ever begin To ever be gentle, to always be strong To walk in the wonder, to live in the song In a place of enchantment where the wild things are known Will the future remember when the lovers are gone? And I see them dancing somewhere in the moonlight Somewhere in Alaska, somewhere in the sun I hear them singing a song for all lovers A song for the two hearts beating only as one A song for the two hearts beating only as one Words and music by John Denver |

I caught a ride on the dreamland express last night,
I was sailing on an ocean of blue. When right there by my side, much to my surprise was you. I said, come on over here baby, let me look in your eyes, let me see the very heart of you. And I couldn't believe it, to conceive that my dream would come true. Cause you said, hey there, sweet daddy, everything is all right. For miles there's not a telephone line. There's not a soul to disturb us, don't be nervous, just come and be mine. You said, let me be the end of your rainbow, let me be the stars up above. Let me be the one that you long for, darling, let me be the one that you love, oh, let me be the one that you love. And now it's four in the morning, honey, I can't sleep. I can't seem to get you out of my mind. I keep tossing and turning, yearning for the sun to shine. I'd like to send you a ticket on the dreamland express, and take you far away with me. I've got a vision of heaven and you're living there with me. Honey, let me be the end of your rainbow, let me be the stars up above. Let me be the one that you long for, darling, let me be the one that you love, oh, let me be the one that you love. |

Perhaps love is like a resting place, a shelter from the storm
It exists to give you comfort, it is there to keep you warm And in those times of trouble when you are most alone The memory of love will bring you home Perhaps love is like a window, perhaps an open door It invites you to come closer, it wants to show you more And even if you lose yourself and don't know what to do The memory of love will see you through Love to some is like a cloud, to some as strong as steel For some a way of living, for some a way to feel And some say love is holding on and some say letting go And some say love is everything, and some say they don't know Perhaps love is like the ocean, full of conflict, full of pain Like a fire when it's cold outside, thunder when it rains If I should live forever, and all my dreams come true My memories of love will be of you Love to some is like a cloud, to some as strong as steel For some a way of living, for some a way to feel And some say love is holding on and some say letting go And some say love is everything, and some say they don't know |
