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 |

Father on father please hear me My song is a cry of desperation All of the words I hear Have lost their meaning My life is a well of confusion Drowned out by the sound of the lost and lonely Only the voice inside Speaks your name to me If they only knew the things that I know If they only could see the things that I see My brothers at opposite tables Like fire and water against each other Only a fool can't see The obvious ending Are we as ashes to wildwood Is life just a fire that can only consume us Is there no vision of love To bind us together If they only knew the things that I know If they only could see the things that I see Words and music by John Denver |

Relatively speaking you make me who I am I need you exactly like the ocean needs the land I need you like the sunshine needs the shadows and the night I need you the way love needs the savage hurtful fight Relatively speaking I'm nothing without you You are where I've been before you are where I'm going to You are living out my dreams and you are all my fears You evoke my laughter, you unleash every tear The rich ones need the poor ones The blind need those with sight Sinners need the pure of heart The black ones need the white Relatively speaking the contrast makes it go Every action taken is related in the flow Stars and losers, kings and fools go dancing hand in hand Relatively speaking you make me who I am The sick ones need the well ones The living need the dead Heaven needs its hell you know And love needs lonely beds Relatively speaking the contrast makes it go Every action taken is related in the flow Stars and losers, kings and fools go dancing hand in hand Relatively speaking you make me who I am Who I am |

There are dreams that sail away to sea And some that stay at home There are dreams in need of company And some that stand alone There are dreams that stay inside all day And never see the light And if dreams come true I swear to you I'll dream of you tonight In a corner bar the local star Destroys a passing chord He sits behind a Mason jar And dreams of his reward Then he takes his break And he counts his take A dollar buys a beer A quarter of his life is gone And what's he doing here Times are hard The old backyard is covered in cement The people seem afraid to dream And dream don't cost a cent There are dreams that stay inside all day And never see the light And if dreams come true I swear to you I'll dream of you tonight And if dreams come true I swear to you I'll dream of you tonight Words and Music by Stephen Geyer |

Nothing But A Breeze
Life is just too short for some folks For other folks it just drags on Some folks like the taste of smokey whiskey Others figure tea's too strong Well, I'm the type of guy who wants to ride the middle I don't like all this bouncing back and forth Me, I want to live with my feet in Dixie And my head in the cool blue north In a small suburban garden Not a single neighbour knows our name I know the woman wishes we would move some place Where the houses aren't all the same Jesse, I wish you would take me where the grass is greener I couldn't really say where it may be Oh, some place high on a mountain top Or down by the deep blue sea And there we'll do just as we please It ain't nothing but a breeze One day I'll be old gray Grandpa All the pretty girls will call me "Sir" Now where they're asking me how things are Soon they'll ask me how things are Well, I don't mind being an old gray Grandpa As long as you'll be my gray Grandma But I wish we would move with our tea and cookies To the shade of the old pawpaw There we'll do just as we please It ain't nothing but a breeze Life is just too short for some folks For other folks it just drags on Some folks like the taste of smokey whiskey Others figure tea's too strong Well, I'm the type of guy who wants to ride in the middle I don't like all this bouncing back and forth Me, I want to live with my feet in Dixie And my head in the cool blue north Words and Music by Jesse Winchester |

I suppose that there are those Who'll say he had it easy Had it made in fact Before he'd even begun But they don't know the things I know I was always with him It may sound strange We were more than friends It's hard to tell the truth When no one wants to listen When no one really cares What's going on And it's hard to stand alone When you need someone beside you Your spirit and your faith They must be strong What one man can do is dream What one man can do is love What one man can do is change the world And make it young again Here you see what one man can do As shaded as his eyes might be That's how bright his mind is That's how strong his love For you and me A friend to all the universe Grandfather of the future And everything I would like to be What one man can do is dream What one man can do is love What one man can do is change the world And make it young again Here you see what one man can do What one man can do is dream What one man can do is love What one man can do is change the world And make it young again Here you see what one man can do Words and music by John Denver |

It's funny how you sound as if you're right next door
When you're really half a world away I just can't seem to find the words I'm looking for To say the things that I want to say I can't remember when I felt so close to you It's almost more than I can bear And though I seem a half a million miles from you You are in my heart and living there And the moon and the stars are the same ones you see It's the same old sun up in the sky And your voice in my ear is like heaven to me Like the breezes here in old Shanghai There are lovers who walk hand in hand in the park And lovers who walk all alone There are lovers who lie unafraid in the dark And lovers who long for home Oh, I couldn't leave you even if I wanted to You're in my dreams and always near And especially when I sing the songs I wrote for you You are in my heart and living there And the moon and the stars are the same ones we see It's the same old sun up in the sky And your face in my dreams is like heaven to me Like the breezes here in old Shanghai Shanghai breezes, cool and clearing, evening's sweet caress Shanghai breezes, soft and gentle, remind me of your tenderness And the moon and the stars are the same ones we see It's the same old sun up in the sky And your love in my life is like heaven to me Like the breezes here in old Shanghai And the moon and the stars are the same ones we see It's the same old sun up in the sky And your love in my life is like heaven to me Like the breezes here in old Shanghai Just like the breezes here in old Shanghai |

Islands call out to me Like the highlands that I always see In my dreams of home I am never alone when I am there Islands like so many dreams Are like canyons but off the main stream And there's no one there The dreamer is always alone And the mighty blue ocean Keeps rolling on every shore Like the spirit that binds us together We are so much more than islands Islands belong to the sea Like the dark sands of my memory When the morning comes They are stepping stones to the sun And the mighty blue ocean Keeps rolling on every shore Like the spirit that binds us together We are so much more than islands Words and music by John Denver |

I haven't seen all there is to see But I've seen quite a bit Some things I'll always remember Some things I wish that I could forget I haven't quite been around the world But I've been around the block I know that distances are meaningless Like the hands that move around a clock And I know that love is everywhere Always safe, always true And exactly where it comes from Is where it's going to Your heart to mine My heart to yours Talk about opening windows Talk about opening doors My heart to yours Your heart to mine Love is a light that shines From heart to heart Here I am sitting in old Hong Kong The harbor and the lights They're like diamonds in the heavens Enough to brighten the darkest of nights There's another side to sorrow As there is to everything Like the other side of lonely Is falling in love again And then you know that there's an answer To the suffering we see And though it isn't easy It's still as simple as you and me And you'll know that love is everywhere Always safe, always true And exactly where it comes from Is where it's going to Your heart to mine My heart to yours Talk about opening windows Talk about opening doors My heart to yours Your heart to mine Love is a light that shines From heart to heart Your heart to mine My heart to yours Talk about opening windows Talk about opening doors My heart to yours Your heart to mine Love is a light that shines From heart to heart Words and music by John Denver |

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 |
