Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry Sunshine on the water looks so lovely Sunshine almost always makes me high If I had a day that I could give you I'd give to you the day just like today If I had a song that I could sing for you I'd sing a song to make you feel this way Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry Sunshine on the water looks so lovely Sunshine almost always makes me high If I had a tale that I could tell you I'd tell a tale sure to make you smile If I had a wish that I could wish for you I'd make a wish for sunshine for all the while Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry Sunshine on the water looks so lovely Sunshine almost all the time makes me high Sunshine almost always... |

There's a storm across the valley
Clouds are rolling in The afternoon lies heavy On your shoulders There's a truck out on the four lane A mile or more away And the whining of his wheels Just makes it colder He's an hour away from riding On his prayers up in the sky And ten days on the road Are barely gone Like a fire softly burning Supper's on the stove It's the light in your eyes That keeps him warm Chorus Hey it's good to be back home again Sometimes this old farm Feels like a long lost friend Yes, and hey it's good to be back home again There's all the news to tell him How you've spent your time And what's the latest thing the neighbors say And your mother called last Friday Sunshine made her cry And you felt the baby move just yesterday (Repeat chorus then) (Bridge) And all the time that I can lay this tired old body down To feel your fingers feather soft upon me The kisses that I live for The love that lights my way The happiness that living with you brings me It's the sweetest thing i know of Just spending time with you It's the little things that make a house a home Like a fire softly burning, supper's on the stove And it's the light in your eyes that makes me warm (Repeat chorus then) (Tag) I said hey it's good to be back home again... |

All of my memories lay in the life of the highway
All of my nights in old motels and sleeping alone All of my days on the road with no one beside me All of my dreams of a place that I can call home Somewhere in the shade near the sound of a sweet singin' river Somewhere in the sun where the mountains make love to the sky Somewhere to build me a faith, a farm and a family Somewhere to grow older, and somewhere a reason to try 'Cause I'm tired of big cities and so tired of big city ways Scratchin' off sunsets, and walkin' around in the maze Some sweet taxi dancer's tryin' to save me from bein' alone Ah, it's much worse than lonely, there is no place that I really belong I want to be home I'm leavin' this city life In my mind I'm flyin' away I'm leavin' tomorrow and all of the old yesterdays I'm leavin' the trash cans, the bright lights, the telephone lines I'm leavin' my sorrows and all of my memories behind To see what I find Somewhere in the shade near the sound of a sweet singin' river Somewhere in the sun where the mountains make love to the sky Somewhere to build me a faith, a farm, and a family Somewhere to grow older, and somewhere a reason to try Somewhere to grow older, somewhere to laydown and die |

Up in a meadow in Jasper Alberta
Two men and four ponies on a long lonesome ride To see the high country and learn of her people The ways that they lived there the ways that they died And one is a teacher one a beginner Just wanting to be there and wanting to know And together they're trying to tell us a story That should have been listened to long long ago Now the life in the mountains is living in danger From too many people too many machines And the time is upon us today is forever Tomorrow is just one of yesterday's dreams Cold nights in Canada and icy blue winds The man and the mountains are brothers again Clear waters are laughing they sing to the sky The Rockies are living they never will die Up in a meadow in Jasper Alberta Two men and four ponies on a long lonesome ride |

There are times I fear I lose myself I don't know who I am I get caught up in the struggle and the strain With my back against a stonewall My finger in the dam Losin' strength and goin' down again And I take a look around me My eyes can't find the sun There's nothing wild as far as I can see Then my heart turns to Alaska And freedom on the run I can hear her spirit callin' me To the mountains, I can rest there To the rivers, I will be strong To the forest, I'll find peace there To the wild country, where I belong Oh, I know some times I worry On worldly ways and means And I can see the future killing me On a misbegotten highway Of prophecies and dreams A road to nowhere and eternity And I know it's just changes Yes, and mankind marchin' on I know we can't live in yesterday But compared to what we're losin' And what it means to me I'd give my life and throw the rest away To the mountains, I can rest there To the rivers, I will be strong To the forest, I'll find peace there To the wild country, where I belong To the wild country, where I belong Words and music by John Denver |

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 |

His spirit joined and so was formed Ten thousand years ago Between the swan and Hercules Where even dark clouds glow To live with grace, to ride the swell To yet be strong of will To love the wind, to learn it's song And empty space to fill Apollo taught me to rhyme Orpheus taught me to play Andromeda cast down her sign And vega lights my way Smoke rings in a galaxy An endless flight through time Lyra gave her harp to him And left him free to climb A winter's journey from the moon To reach the summer sun To rise again, to sing for you A song that's yet unsung Apollo taught me to rhyme Orpheus taught me to play Andromeda cast down her sign And vega lights my way His spirit joined and so was formed Ten thousand years ago Between the swan and Hercules Where even dark clouds glow To live with grace, to ride the swell To yet be strong of will To love the wind, to learn her song And empty space to fill Words and Music by John Denver and Joe Henry |

It's cold here in the city
It always seems that way And I've been thinking about you almost everyday Thinking about the good times Thinking about the rain Thinking about how bad it feels alone again I'm sorry for the way things are in China I'm sorry things ain't what they used to be But more than anything else I'm sorry for myself 'Cause you're not here with me Our friends all ask about you I say you're doing fine And I expect to hear from you almost anytime But they all know I'm crying And I can't sleep at night They all know I'm dying down deep inside I'm sorry for all the lies I told you I'm sorry for the things I didn't say But more than anything else I'm sorry for myself I can't believe you went away [break] I'm sorry if I took some things for granted I'm sorry for the chains I put on you But more than anything else I'm sorry for myself For living without you It's cold here in the city It always seems that way And I've been thinking about you almost everyday |

Sunday and it's rainin' in Alaska
Seven days, I haven't seen the sun Flyin' bush, flyin' low along the shore line Doin' everything I can to make it home I can't wait to see the Wrangle Mountain I can't wait to do what I will do Honey, did I never say how time goes by so slowly When I can't wait to get back home to you Three years from the war and settled down now I did my time and served my country well In the freedom I defended I fly beneath the North Star And I just don't know a better way to feel I can't wait to see the Wrangle Mountain I can't wait to do what I will do Honey, did I never say how time goes by so slowly When I can't wait to get back home to you It's a quiet life out here among the mountains In a cabin that was built with these two hands McCarthey lies asleep beside the Glacier It's colder now, winter's in the air If you think they're wild it's just because they can't be broken It's a strong and gentle people living there I can't wait to see the Wrangle Mountain I can't wait to do what I will do Honey, did I never say how time goes by so slowly When I can'?t wait to get back home to you |

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 |

For all the times that you've wondered why The world turned out this way And all of the times that you've asked yourself About the games that people play About the politics of hunger And the politics of need How the politics of power Seem to be the politics of greed For all of the times that you've struggled in an effort To work your way back upstream And all of the times you've held on to it When most of us had lost the dream And for all of the ones who have walked with you By your side or way back home Maybe much more than any of us You know that no one is really alone Because the heart is still a hunter It's like a beacon in the night And though the heart is just a lover It's never afraid to fight We are fighting for more than survival We are working for more than peace We are giving ourselves to each other Making sure all injustice is will someday cease You can take a look around you And you can see how far we've come All the separate parts All the hundreds of hearts That are beating together as one It's a possibility For many tomorrows It's a possibility Of a world to be made for everyone It's a possibility No more suffering and sorrow It's a possibility It's in everyone It's a possibility For many tomorrows It's a possibility Of a world to be made for everyone It's a possibility No more suffering and no more sorrow It's a possibility It's in everyone Words and music by John Denver |

I don't know why We still live together We're so far apart So much of the time I don't know why This beautiful weather Is breaking my spirit And tearing my mind all apart Are you so lonely Are you so sad Have you lost your purpose The faith that you had If life is a question I don't understand If time is the reason Then nobody can In my heart it is just an illusion It's not even real Much more than you think It's much more than you feel My ears are still ringing There's nothing to say Why look to the ocean To wash me away There goes my best friend There goes my last dime If love is the answer I'm wasting my time In my heart it is just an illusion It's not even real Much more than you think It's much more than you feel Do you feel Is this real How I feel In my heart Words and music by John Denver |

There are many ways of being in this circle we call life A wise man seeks an answer, burns his candle through the night Is a jewel just a pebble that found a way to shine Is a hero's blood more righteous than a hobo's sip of wine Did I speak to you one morning on some distant world away Did you save me from an arrow, did you lay me in a grave Were we brothers on a journey, did you teach me how to run Were we broken by the waters, did I lie you in the sun I dreamed you were a prophet in a meadow I dreamed I was a mountain in the wind I dreamed you knelt and touched me with a flower I awoke with this: a flower in my hand I know that love is seeing all the infinite in one In the brotherhood of creatures; who the father, who the son The vision of your goodness will sustain me through the cold Take my hand now to remember when you find yourself alone And the spirit fills the darkness of the heavens It fills the endless yearning of the soul It lives within a star too far to dream of It lives within each part and is the whole It's the fire and the wings that fly us home Fly us home, fly us home Words by 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 |

This is what it's like falling out of love This is the way you lose your very best friend This is how it feels when it's all over This is just the way true love ends First of all there's no one to talk to When there is they just don't seem to hear Words don't seem to matter much anyway They can't describe the pain They can't explain the fear Then the nights grow cold and hard to live through Still you hate to see the morning come Somehow tomorrow doesn't matter much anymore The future holds no promise Your life's already done This is what it's like falling out of love This is the way you lose your very best friend This is how it feels when it's all over This is just the way true love ends The you find your heart no longer flutters You no longer look through a lover's eyes What's to see when the world falls down around you You simply can't believe it But it comes as no surprise This is what it's like falling out of love This is the way you lose your very best friend This is how it feels when it's all over This is just the way true love ends What's the sense of failure It's such an incredible loss It's all the things you'll never do And all the dreams that will never come true This is what it's like falling out of love This is the way you lose your very best friend This is how it feels when it's all over This is just the way true love ends Oh this is just the way a true love ends I don't believe a true love ever ends Words and music by John Denver |

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 |

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 |

I want to play in the World Game I want to make it better it's ever been before I want to play in the World Game I want to make sure everybody knows the score About using less, doing so much more Everywhere I'm going I see trouble Everywhere I'm looking I see all kinds of pain Maybe we can get back on the double Maybe we can turn around and make it all change They say it's you against your neighbor If it gets right down to it, you against your friend I swear that this is not the answer As far as I can see it is the way it all ends I want to play in the World Game I want to make it better it's ever been before I want to play in the World Game I want to make sure everybody knows the score About using less and doing so much more Hey man, you know me I don't worry Hey man, you know me I am never afraid Only one thing can make me sorry Something to say and then it never gets said What kind of man turns on his brother What kind of man turns his back on a friend Who has the right to say it's over Who has the right to see how far it can bend I want to play in the World Game I want to make it better it's ever been before I want to play in the World Game I want to make sure everybody knows the score About using less, doing so much more Yaweh yaweh yaweh jah Yaweh yaweh yaweh jah Yaweh yaweh yaweh jah Yaweh yaweh yaweh jah You and me you and me You and me you and me I and I - I and I I and I - I and I I want to play in the World Game I want to make it better it's ever been before I want to play in the World Game I want to make sure everybody knows the score About using less, doing so much more Words and music by John Denver |

Almost exactly a year ago I came here for the very first time Looking up at the Spanish window From a trail on the edge of the timberline I've been off on a journey to find myself Maybe find my way back home Been many an hour all by myself In the darkest of nights I was never ever alone Back in the San Juan Mountains again On a ride with some good old boys Telling stories around a campfire The sound of laughter is the loudest noise There's something in a night in the wilderness It's a magical thing to me Like the sky is just a little bit brighter And your life is everything that you'd like it to be There'll be snow on the passes tomorrow You can feel it in the chill of the wind Let the rain wash away all my sorrow Today is the day that my life starts all over again I guess that it's just about over now Everything's about to change Everything's a brand new number, darlin' Everything's a brand new game And it's funny I could even call you that After all the pain we've been through Ah, but time is the master of healing Love is the master of everything that we do There'll be snow on the passes tomorrow You can feel it in the chill of the wind Let the rain wash away all my sorrow Today is the day that my life starts all over again Words and music by John Denver |

Artist: John Denver
Album: The Best of John Denver Song: On The Wings Of A Dream Yesterday I had a dream about dying About laying to rest and then flying How the moment at hand is the only thing We really own And I lay in my bed and I wonder After all has been said and is done for Why is it thus we are here And so soon we are gone Is this life just a path to the place That we all have come from Does the heart know the way And if not, can it ever be found In a smile or a tear or a prayer Or a sigh or a song And if so, then I sing for my father And in truth you must know I would rather He were here by my side We could fly on the wings of a dream To a place where the spirit would find us And the joy and surrender would bind us We are one anyway Anyway we are more than we seem There are those who will lead us Protect us each step of the way From beginning to end For each moment forever each day Such a gift has been given It can never be taken away (Instrumental) Though the body in passing must leave us There is one who remains to receive us There are those in this life Who are friends from our heavenly home So I listen to the voices inside me For I know they are there just to guide me And my faith will proclaim it is so We are never alone From the life to the light From the dark of the night to the dawn He is so in my heart He is here he could never be gone Though the singer is silent There still is the truth of the song In the song Yesterday I had a dream about dying About laying to rest and then flying How the moment at hand is the only thing We really own And I lay in my bed and I wonder After all has been said and is done for Why is it thus we are here And so soon we are gone Oh, why is it thus we are here And so soon we are gone |

African sunrise, shine on a brand new day African sunrise, show us a brand new way Give us a brand new morning Show us forever beginning to stand on our own African sunrise, smile on my African home In this hour of quiet contemplation The stillness of the dawning calms my mind I face the day with heartfelt exaltation The light is both a promise and a sign In the darkness we have lost the son of our sister Though the beauty of his spirit lingers still This was a child of love, a child of laughter Who cannot understand the way I feel Is it not the sun that gives the seasons Is it not the sun that brings the rain Our throats are choled with dust, but we're still singing Our song will not be silenced by the rain All around the village I could hear the roosters crowing There was a time it was like music to my ears Now all I can hear is the sound of hungry babies crying I pray for rain to wash away their tears African sunrise, light of a brand new day African sunrise, light of a brand new way With one who will be our brother And one who will be our partner and teach us to know African sunrise, smile on my African home African sunrise..... African sunrise..... Words and music by John Denver |

Western Oklahoma ninteen forty three
I always felt grateful to live in the land of the free I gave up my father to South Korea The mind of my brother to Vietnam Now there's a banker who says I must give up my land There are four generations of blood in this topsoil Four generations of love on this farm Before I give up I would gladly give up my right arm What are we making weapons for Why keep on feeding the war machine We take it right out of the mouths of our babies Take it away from the hands of the poor Tell me, what are we making weapons for I had a son and my son was a soldier He was so like my father, he was so much like me To be a good comrade was the best that he dreamed he could be He gave up his future to revolution His life to a battle that just can't be won For this is not living, to live at the point of a gun I remember the nine hundred days of Leningrad The sound of the dying, the cut of the cold I remember the moments I prayed I would never grow old What are we making weapons for Why keep on feeding the war machine We take it right out of the mouths of our babies Take it away from the hands of the poor Tell me, what are we making weapons for For the first time in my life I feel like a prisoner A slave to the ways of the powers that be And I fear for my children, as I fear for the future I see Tell me how can it be we're still fighting each other What does it take for a people to learn If our song is not sung as a chorus, we surely will burn What are we making weapons for Why keep on feeding the war machine We take it right out of the mouths of our babies Take it away from the hands of the poor Tell me, what are we making weapons for Have we forgotten All the lives that were given All the vows that were taken Saying never again Now for the first time This could be the last time If peace is our vision Let us begin Have we forgotten All the lives that were given All the vows that were taken Saying never again Now for the first time This could be the last time If peace is our vision Let us begin, Let us begin. |

There's a full moon over India and Gandhi lives again Who's to say you have to lose for someone else to win In the eyes of all the people the look is much the same For the first is just the last one when you play a deadly game It's about time we realize it we're all in this together It's about time we find out it's all of us or none It's about time we recognize it these changes in the weather It's about time, it's about changes and it's about time There's a light in the Vatican window for all the world to see And a voice cries in the wilderness and sometimes he speaks for me I suppose I love him most of all when he kneels to kiss the land With his lips upon our Mother's breast he makes his strongest stand It's about time we start to see it the Earth is our only home It's about time we start to face it we can't make it here all alone It's about time we start to listen to the voices in the wind It's about time, it's about changes and it's about time There's a man who is my brother, I just don't know his name But I know his home and family because I know we feel the same And it hurts me when he's hungry and when his children cry I too am a father and that little one is mine It's about time we begin to turn the world around It's about time we start to make it the dream we've always known It's about time we start to live the family of man It's about time, it's about changes and it's about time It's about peace and it's about plenty and it's about time It's about you and me together and it's about time Words by John Denver, music by John Denver and Glen D Hardin |

Welcome to my morning
Welcome to my day Yes, I'm the one responsible I made it just this way To make myself some pictures And see what they might bring I think I made it perfectly I wouldn't change a thing (La la la, la-la-la-la-la-la) (La la la, la-la-la-la-la-la) Welcome to my happiness You know it makes me smile And it pleases me to have you here For just a little while While we open up the spaces Try to break some chains And if the truth is told They will never come again (La la la, la-la-la-la-la-la) (La la la, la-la-la-la-la-la) (La la la, la-la-la-la-la-la) Welcome to my evening The closing of the day You know, I could try a million times Never find a better way To tell you that I love you And all the songs I play Are to thank you for allowing me In the lovely day you made Welcome to my morning Welcome to my day Yes, I'm the one responsible I made it just this way To make myself some pictures And see what they might bring I think I made it perfectly I wouldn't change a thing (La la la, la-la-la-la-la-la....etc.) |

You came looking for the answers To some questions on his mind Seeking truth and understanding In the hope that he would find A way to better serve his brothers And his sisters in the sun Sharing all that he has given Giving all to everyone Come and listen to the story Of a journey once begun Of a people and their plenty And their season in the sun And how they gave themselves to symbols And things that they could hold Living lives in desperation In the fear of letting go It amazes me And I know the wind will surely one day Blow it all away It amazes me And I'm so very grateful that you made the world this way For our plans have come together now Where do we go from here Will our differences divide us Must we always live in fear For there are things that we must move through Some things to cast aside But our father watches over us Our mother will provide It amazes me And I know the wind will someday surely Blow it all away It amazes me And I'm so very grateful that you made the world this way It amazes me It amazes me It amazes me Words and music by John Denver |

If I had my druthers I'd go fishin' Find myself a lake and a lazy day If I had my druthers I'd quit wishin' Get off the old caboose get on my way. Give me whole lots of laughter Great big barrels of fun Nightime full of romance Daytime full of fun If I had my druthers I'd go flyin' - oooh Lookin' for the things I'd like to see - yeah If I had my druthers I'd be tryin' tryin' The only way to be what I can be Give me somebody to love me Make me feel like the only one Something thst's worth doing Lord I feel good when it's well done. If I had my druthers I'd go sailin' - yes I would Catch me campin' out on the open sea If I had my druthers I'd be singin' Just how good this good life feels to me - feels so good You just need somesome to talk to Something you can share You don't need no reason for livin' Lord It's already there - yes it is - oooh oooh It makes me giggle I can't sit down I'm goin' fishin'!!!

On the road of experience,
I'm trying to find my own way. Sometimes I wish that I could fly away. When I think that I'm moving, Suddenly things stand still. I'm afraid 'cause I think they alway will. And I'm looking for space, And to find out who I am. And I'm looking to know and understand. It's a sweet, sweet dream. Sometimes I'm almost there. Sometimes I fly like an eagle And sometimes I'm deep in despair. All alone in the universe, Sometimes that's how it seems. I get lost in the sadness and the screams. Then I look in the center, Suddenly everything's clear. I find myself in the sunshine and my dreams. And I'm looking for space, And to find out who I am. And I'm looking to know and understand. It's a sweet, sweet dream. Sometimes I'm almost there. Sometimes I fly like an eagle And sometimes I'm deep in despair. On the road of experience, Join in the living day. If there's an answer, It's just that it's just that way. When you're looking for space, And to find out who you are. When you're looking to try and reach the stars. It's a sweet, sweet, sweet dream. Sometimes I'm almost there. Sometimes I fly like an eagle And sometimes I'm deep in despair. Sometimes I fly like an eagle. Like an eagle I go flying High. |
