from John Denver - Two Different Directions (1997)
The wind is the whisper of our mother the earth
The wind is the hand of our father the sky The wind watches over our struggles and pleasures The wind is the goddess who first learned to fly The wind is the bearer of bad and good tidings The weaver of darkness, the bringer of dawn The wind gives the rain, then builds us a rainbow The wind is the singer who sang the first song The wind is a twister of anger and warning The wind brings the fragrance of freshly mown hay The wind is a racer, a wild stallion running The sweet taste of love on a slow summer’s day The wind knows the songs of the cities and canyons The thunder of mountains, the roar of the sea The wind is the taker and giver of mornings The wind is the symbol of all that is free |

You fill up my sences
like a night in a forest. like the mountains in spring time, like a walk in the rain. Like a storm in the desert, like a sleepy blue ocean. You fill up my sences, come fill me again. Come let me love you. Let me give my love 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. You fill up my sences like a night in a forest. like the mountains in spring time, like a walk in the rain. Like a storm in the desert, like a sleepy blue ocean. You fill up my sences, come fill me again. |

The world is fast becoming younger The news is all they've ever known They've seen the wars, the hurt, the hunger How will they choose when they are grown What do you tell forever's children When it's their turn to hurt and heal Whatever spins a grim tornedo Can also turn a potters wheel Take a little clay Put it on a wheel Get a little hint How God must feel Give a little turn Listen to a spin Make it into the shape You want it in Tell with your life the bloody story Teach to they're dreams not burning steel It's not in bombs where lies the glory But in what's shattered on the field The potter's wheel takes love and caring Skill and patience fast and slow The works it makes are easily broken Once they survive the potter's throw Take a little clay Put it on a wheel Get a little hint How God must feel Give a little turn Listen to a spin Make it into the shape You want it in Some day some children will be digging In some long forgotten ground And they'll find our civilisation Or what's left of it to be found They'll find the weapons of destruction But buried deeper in the hole They'll find a message and a promise In the sand, the potter's bowl Take a little clay Put it on a wheel Get a little hint How God must feel Give a little turn Listen to a spin Make it into the shape You want it in Earth and fire and wind conspire With human hands, and love, and fire Words and Music by Bill Danoff |

They say they love each other I've no doubt they do They say they'll always be together That may not be true They come from different places Different points of view They find themselves in different spaces Everything is all brand new Two different directions Too many different ways One always on the road somewhere The other one always stays Too often unhappy Too often on your own When you are moving in different directions True love is all alone Old stories start to surface Patterns from long ago And loving quickly turns to anger For reasons they don't even know The strongest heart can be broken With one insensitive word The deepest feelings remain unspoken No one is seen and nothing heard Two different directions Too many different ways One always wants to work things out The other one wants to play To ready for changes To much that just can't wait When you are moving in different directions True love can turn to hate If opposites attract each other What's the reason for One being like an open window One just like a closing door Two different directions Two many different ways One likes to see the morning sunrise The other one sleeps in late To many tomorrows To many times too late When you are moving in different directions True love may have to wait If you are committed to different directions True love will have to wait Words and music by John Denver |

A country girl in Paris, moonlight on the Seine Memories of Tennessee, Nashville in the rain It's such a contradiction, a heart that's filled with pain A country girl in Paris, dreamin' Nashville in the rain She walks along the boulevard, Champs Alysee Thinks about a country boy three thousand miles away Pride is such a hard thing, it's such a price to pay To be all alone in Paris with true love so far away Up upon Mont Martre when she stops to rest awhile All the artists look at her and they long to paint her smile For even in her sorrow there's something in her eyes That makes the young men jealous, makes the old men sigh They say the loss of innocence is always linked to pain For once the heart is opened nothing ever is the same And so the evening lends itself to lovers and romance The way to heal a broken heart is to give true love One more chance A country girl in Paris, moonlight on the Seine Memories of Tennessee, Nashville in the rain It's such a contradiction, a heart that's filled with pain A country girl in Paris, dreamin' Nashville in the rain A country girl in Paris, longing for Nashville in the rain Words and music by John Denver |

Not so long ago, I packed my bags a hundred times Didn't seem to know how to stop or to unwind Goin' nowhere, a man without a dream Guess my lucky star fell the day you came along To my lonely heart you are like a special song Singing sweetly your tender melody Thanks to you The child in me lives again Thanks to you I have found a peace within I know where I'm goin' and what I want to do Thanks to you Lying in you arms I found my greatest pleasure I look into your eyes and dream about forever Wakin' up with you and lookin' forward to the day What we plan to do, knowin' anything at all's okay A life has a meaning Love has got a name Thanks to you The child in me lives again Thanks to you I have found a peace within I know where I'm goin' and what I want to do Thanks to you Thanks to you The child in me lives again Thanks to you I have found a peace within I know where I'm goin' and what I want to do Thanks to you Words and music by John L.

Imagine a month of Sundays Each one a cloudy day Imagine the moment the sun came shining through Imagine that ray of sunshine as you Remember your darkest hour With dawn still far away Remember the way that you longed for morning's light And think of yourself as a candle in the night Make believe this is the first day Everything all brand new Make believe that the sun is your own lucky star And then understand the kind of gift you are The gift you are like the very first breath of spring The gift you are all the joy that love can bring The gift you are all of our dreams come true The gift you are the gift of you You are the promise of all the ages You are the Prodigal Son You are the vision of prophets and sages You are the only one Dream of a bright tomorrow Know that your dream will come true Carry your dream in a sparkling crystal jar Then you will know the kind of gift you are The gift you are like the very first breath of spring The gift you are all the joy that love can bring The gift you are all of our dreams come true The gift you are the gift of you The gift you are like the very first breath of springtime The gift you are all the joy that love can bring The gift you are all of our dreams come true - yes they do The gift you are the gift of you The gift you are the gift of you Words and music by John Denver |

There are children raised in sorrow
On a scorched and barren plain There are children raised beneath the golden sun There are children of the water And children of the sand And they cry out through the universe Their voices raised as one I want to live I want to grow I want to see I want to know I want to share what I can give I want to be I want to live Have you gazed out on the ocean Seen the breaching of a whale? Have you watched the dolphins frolic in the foam? Have you heard the song the humpback hears five hundred miles away Telling tales of ancient history of passages and home? I want to live I want to grow I want to see I want to know I want to share what I can give I want to be I want to live For the worker and the warrior the lover and the liar For the native and the wanderer in kind For the maker and the user and the mother and her son I am looking for my family and all of you are mine We are standing all together Face to face and arm in arm We are standing on the threshold of a dream No more hunger no more killing No more wasting life away It is simply an idea And I know its time has come I want to live I want to grow I want to see I want to know I want to share what I can give I want to be I want to live |

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 |

City sidewalk, busy sidewalks dressed in holiday style. In the air there's a feeling of Christmas. Children laughing, people passing, meeting smile after smile, and on every street corner you'll hear: Silver bells, silver bells, it's Christmas time in the city. Ring-a-ling, hear them ring, soon it will be Christmas day. Silver bells, silver bells, it's Christmas time in the city. Ring-a-ling, hear them ring, soon it will be Christmas day.

Christmas, Like A Lullaby
This song was first released on the Christmas, Like A Lullaby Album. It is the only album it has been released on. Christmas like a lullaby steals across the land A breeze upon the water, rainfall upon the sand We celebrate a baby born from spirit into man And Christmas like a lullaby steals across the land It's morning in Australia; In fact it's Christmas day And Colorado never seemed so very far away Back where night has fallen and it's still Christmas Eve And snow is on the mountains where I always hate to leave Here I am down under with a brand new family And Christmas bells are ringing And there's presents 'neath the tree I know that it's been said before and now I know it's true That home is where the heart is And Christmas lives there too And on this morning Peace on Earth Is still our fervent prayer And I can hear it being Whispered softly everywhere And guns are called to silence And anger called to still And brotherhood and sisterhood Surrounded by goodwill Christmas like a lullaby steals across the land A breeze upon the water, rainfall upon the sand We celebrate a baby born from spirit into man And Christmas like a lullaby steals across the land Words and music by John Denver |

Away in a manger no crib for his bed.
The little Lord Jesus lay down his sweet head. The stars in the sky looked down where he lay. The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay. The cattle are lowing, the poor baby wakes. But little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes. I love thee Lord Jesus, look down from the sky. And stay by my side 'till morning is nigh. Be near me Lord Jesus, I ask thee to stay. Close by me forever and love me, I pray. Bless all the dear children in thy tender care. And fit us for heaven to live with thee there. Away in a manger no crib for his bed. The little Lord Jesus lay down his sweet head. The stars in the sky looked down where he lay. The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay. |

Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree Just won't mean a thing if you're not here with me And when those blue heartaches start hurting, I'll have some blue memories for certain; You'll be doing all right with your Christmas of white, But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas.

Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen But do you recall the most famous reindeer of all? Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer (reindeer) Had a very shiny nose (like a light bulb) And if you ever saw it (saw it) You would even say it glows (like a glow worm) All of the other reindeer (reindeer) Used to laugh and call him names (like Pinochio) They never let poor Rudolph (Rudolph) Join in any reindeer games (like Monopoly) Then one foggy Christmas Eve Santa came to say (Ho Ho Ho) "Rudolph with your nose so bright Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?" Then all the reindeer loved him (loved him) And they shouted out with glee (whooppee) "Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer (reindeer) You'll go down in history!" (like Columbus) Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer Had a very shiny nose And if you ever saw it You would even say it glows All of the other reindeer Used to laugh and call him names They never let poor Rudolph Join in any reindeer games Then one foggy Christmas Eve Santa came to say "Rudolph with your nose so bright Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"

All through the year We've waited Waited through spring and fall To hear silver bells ringing See winter time bringing The happies season of all Chestnuts roasting on a open fire Jackfrost nippin' at your nose Yuletide carols being sung by a choir And folks dressed up like eskimos Everybody knows a turkey, and some mistleoe Will help o make he season bright Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow Will find it hard to sleep tonight They know that santa's on his way He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh And every mother's child is going to spy To see if reindeer really know how to fly And so I'm offering this simple phrase To kids from one to ninety-two Although it's been said, many times Many ways Merry christmas, to you They know that santa's on his way He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh And every mother's child is going to spy To see if reindeer really know how to fly And so I'm offering this simple phrase To kids from one to ninety-two Although it's been said, many times Many ways Merry christmas, to you Words and music by mel torme and robert wells |

Intro:
Have yourself a merry little Christmas, Let your heart be light From now on, our troubles will be out of sight Have yourself a merry little Christmas, Make the Yule-tide gay, From now on, your troubles will be miles away. (4fr) Here we are as in olden days, happy golden days of yore. Faithful friends who are dear to us gather near to us once more. Through the years we all will be together If the Fates allow Hang a shining star upon the highest bough. And have yourself a merry little Christmas now. |

Aspen is the life to live See how much there is to give See how strongly you believe See how much you may receive See the sunlight through the pine Taste the warm of winter wine Dream of softly falling snow Winter skol, Aspenglow As the winter days unfold Hearts grow warmer with the cold, Memories that can't grow old Winter skol, Aspenglow....Aspenglow. |

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Jack Frost nipping at your nose. Yuletide carols being sung by a choir and folks dressed up like Eskimos. Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe help to make the season bright. Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow will find it hard to sleep tonight. They know that Santa's on his way, he's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh. And every mother's child is gonna spy to see if reindeer really know how to fly. And so, I'm offering this simple phrase to kids from one to ninety-two: Although it's been said many times, many ways, "Merry Christmas to you."

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer Had a very shiny nose And if you ever saw it You would even say to glows All of the other reindeer Used to laugh and call him names They never let poor Rudolph Join in any reindeer games Then one foggy Chrismas Eve Santa came to say "Rudolph, with your nose so bright Won't you guide my sleigh tonight" Then how the reindeer loved him As they shouted out with glee "Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer You'll go down in history" |

City sidewalk, busy sidewalks dressed in holiday style. In the air there's a feeling of Christmas. Children laughing, people passing, meeting smile after smile, and on every street corner you'll hear: Silver bells, silver bells, it's Christmas time in the city. Ring-a-ling, hear them ring, soon it will be Christmas day. Silver bells, silver bells, it's Christmas time in the city. Ring-a-ling, hear them ring, soon it will be Christmas day.

Please daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas, I don't wanna see my mamma cry. Please daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas, I don't wanna see my mamma cry. Just last year when I was only seven, now I'm almost eight as you can see. You came home a quarter past eleven, fell down underneath our Christmas tree. Please daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas, I don't wanna see my mamma cry. Please daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas, I don't wanna see my mamma cry. Mamma smiled and looked outside the window. She told me, "Son, you better get upstairs." Then you laughed and hollered "Merry Christmas." I turned around and saw my mamma's tears. Please daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas, I don't wanna see my mamma cry. Please daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas, I don't wanna see my mamma cry. No, I don't wanna see my mamma cry. |

Tall in the saddle, we spend Christmas Day, driving the cattle on the snow covered-plains. All of the good gifts given today, ours is the sky and the wide open range. Back in the city they have different ways, football and eggnog and Christmas parades. I'll take the blanket, I'll take the reins, Christmas for cowboys and wide-open plains. A campfire for warmth as we stop for the night, the stars overhead are Christmas tree lights. The wind sings a hymn as we bow down to pray, Christmas for cowboys and wide-open plains. Tall in the saddle we spend Christmas Day, driving the cattle on the snow-covered plains. So many gifts have been opened today, ours is the sky and the wide open range.

Away in a manger, no crib for his bed. The little Lord Jesus lay down his sweet head. The stars in the sky looked down where he lay, the little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay. The cattle are lowing, the poor baby wakes. But little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes. I love thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky and stay by my side till morning is nigh. Be near me Lord Jesus, I ask thee to stay close by me forever and love me, I pray. Bless all the dear children in thy tender care and fit us for heaven to live with thee there. Away in a manger, no crib for his bed. The little Lord Jesus lay down his sweet head. The stars in the sky looked down where he lay, the little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay. |

What child is this, who, laid to rest, on Mary's lap, is sleeping? Whom angels greet with anthems sweet, while shepherds watch are keeping? This, this is Christ the King, whom shepherds guard and angels sing: Haste, haste to bring him laud, the Babe, the Son of Mary! So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh, come peasant, king to own Him, The King of kings, salvation brings, let loving hearts enthrone Him. Raise, raise the song on high, the Virgin sings her lullaby: Joy, joy, for Christ is born, the Babe, the Son of Mary! What child is this, who, laid to rest, on Mary's lap, is sleeping? Whom angels greet with anthems sweet, while shepherds watch are keeping?

O sisters too, how may we do For to preserve this day, This poor Youngling for whom we sing By-bye lully, lullay. Herod the King, in his raging, Charged he hath this day; His men of might, in his own sight, All children young, to slay. Then woe is me, poor Child, for Thee, And ever mourn and say; For Thy parting nor say nor sing, By-bye lully, lullay. |

Shepherds wake at the sight. Glorious dreams from heaven above. Heavenly hosts sing "Hallelujah." "Christ the savior is born, Christ the savior is born." Silent night, holy night.

The sea son is upon us now, a time for gifts and giving. And as the year draws to its close, I think about my living. Christmas time when I was young, the magic and the wonder. But colors dull and candles dim and dark my standing under. Oh, little angel, shining light, you've set my soul to dreaming. You've given back my joy in life, you filled me with new meaning. A savior King was born that day, a baby just like you. And as the Magi came with gifts, I come with my gift too. That peace on earth fills up your time and brotherhood surrounds you, That you may know the warmth of love and wrap it all around you. It's just a wish, a dream I'm told from days when I was young, Merry Christmas little Zachary, Merry Christmas everyone. Merry Christmas little Zachary, Merry Christmas everyone. |

If our lives could lie before us like a straight and narrow highway
So that we could see forever, long before we took the ride We would never look to heaven, make a wish or climb a mountain 'Cause we'd always know the answer what's on the other side But life ain't no easy freeway, just some gravel on the ground You pay for every mile you go to spread some dust around Tho' we all have destinations , and the dust will settle down This life ain't no easy freeway, just some gravel on the ground So let's walk the road together Who knows what we'll find tomorrow Maybe good times, maybe sorrow will be waitin' round the bend Given time, two hearts discover what they're feelin' for each other At the best we'll end up lovers, at the least we'll make a friend But life ain't no easy freeway, just some gravel on the ground You pay for every mile you go to spread some dust around Tho' we all have destinations , and the dust will settle down But life ain't no easy freeway, just some gravel on the ground You pay for every mile you go to spread some dust around Tho' we all have destinations , and the dust will settle down This life ain't no easy freeway, just some gravel on the ground |

His Daddy was a simple man, just a red dirt Georgia farmer And his Momma spent her young life havin' kids and balin' hay He had fifteen years and an ache inside to wander So he hopped a freight in Waycross and wound up in L.A. Lord, the cold nights had no pity on a Waycross, Georgia farm boy Most days he went hungry, then the summer came He met a girl known on the strip as San Francisco's Mabel Joy Destitutions child born of an L.A. street called “Shame"? Growin' up came quietly in the arms of Mabel Joy Laughter found their mornings brought meaning to his life Yes, the night before she left sleep came and left that Waycross, Georgia boy With dreams of Georgia cotton and a California wife Sunday morning found him standin' neath the red light at her door When a right cross sent him reelin', put him face down on the floor In place of Mabel Joy he found a merchant mad marine Who growled, “Your Georgia neck is red but sonny, you're still green"? He turned twenty-one in a gray rock fed'ral prison The old judge had no mercy for a Waycross, Georgia boy Starin' at those four gray walls in silence he would listen To that midnight freight he knew would take him back to Mabel Joy Sunday mornin' found him standin' 'neath the red light at her door With a bullet in his side, he cried, “Have you seen Mabel Joy?"? Stunned and shaken someone said, “Why, she's not here no more She left this house four years today, they say she's lookin' for some Georgia farm boy"? Words and Music by Mickey Newbury |

For someone who's got everything, life can still be rough If things are what you're lookin' for, there's never quite enough And all the tea in China won't make a house a home You can be a millionaire and still be sleepin' alone There might be some one night stands to ease the pain inside Or someone you can call around if you've lost all your pride Please don't be mistaken. I don't mean to put that down I know there's times when anything is better than sleepin' alone Sleepin' alone can make a bottle just about your dearest friend Sleepin' alone can make you swear to God this night will never end You know it's not company you are lookin' for You know it's not just pleasure, you know it's somethin' more You know it's not the answer if it's not like comin' home If the one who's there doesn't really care, it's worse than sleepin' alone Sleepin' alone can make a bottle just about your dearest friend Sleepin' alone can make you swear to God this night will never end For someone who's got everything, life can still be rough If things are what you're lookin' for, there's never quite enough And all the gold that glitters won't make a house a home You can be a millionaire and still be sleepin' alone You might be a millionaire and still be sleepin' alone Words and music by John Denver |

In the airport lounge she sat in a fancy feathered hat
The grandest lady I had ever seen Outside the heavy rains had grounded all the planes So I asked her if she'd like some company In my rhinestone studded suit, My cowboy hat and boots I must have been a sight to see But she said "Pull up a chair," as she fumbled with her hair A more unlikely pair you'll never see I was Mogen David wine, she was Chabls Fifty-nine But there we sat, the cowboy and the lady She was evenings at the opera and summers in Paree I was Grand Ole Opry, Nashville, Tennessee The cowboy and the lady As diff'rent as could be But it seemed so right that rainy night in Tennessee And somewhere in between her Harvey's Bristol Creme And the beer I drank and the easy company We somehow came together for a night of stormy weather Now there's a little bit of class in this old cowboy And there's a little bit of cowboy in the lady The cowboy and the lady As diff'rent as could be But it seemed so right that rainy night in Tennessee We somehow came together for a night of stormy weather Now there's a little bit of class in this old cowboy And there's a little bit of cowboy in the lady |

Nashville tears are lonely signs that point to broken hearts
Broken lives and families that love has split apart Children who miss daddy, mommy's on the run The pleasure that is painful and hidden from the sun Nashville hearts are lonely words that speak of love gone wrong Sad and soulful stories and beautiful love songs For each and every melody of happiness denied You know that there's another one that shows the other side Country love is kisses in the kitchen Country love is honest and it's true Country love is home with your family County love's the way that I love you Country love is silky nights and warm familiar hands Someone who's been there before and always understands Nashville nights are lonely roads that we've all travelled on Sometimes they take you far away or they can bring you home If you're lost out on the highway, do not deny the dove When Nashville night's the question, the answer's country love Country love is kisses in the kitchen Country love is honest and it's true Country love is home with your family County love's the way that I love you Country love is kisses in the kitchen Country love is honest and it's true Country love is home with your family County love's the way that I love you |

January back in '55 we rode a Greyhound bus through the Georgia midnight
Grandpa was sleeping and the winter sky was clear We hit a bump and his head jerked back a little and he mumbled something He woke up smiling, but his eyes were bright with tears Said, "I dreamed I was back on the farm... 20 years have passed, boy, but the memory still warms me... Wildflowers in a Mason Jar..." He told me those old stories about that one-room cabin in Kentucky The smell of the rain and the warm earth in his hands He slowly turned and stared outside; his face was mirrored in the window And his reflection flew across the moonlit land And he dreamed he was back on the farm Tilts his head and listens to the early sound of morning Wildflowers in a Mason Jar An old man and an eight-year-old boy rolling down that midnight highway Kentucky memories from a winter Georgia night I started drifting off and Grandpa tucked his coat around me I think I tried to smile as I slowly closed my eyes And I dreamed I was with him on the farm "Grandpa, I can hear the evening wind out in the corn... Wildflowers in a Mason Jar... Wildflowers in a Mason Jar... Wildflowers in a Mason Jar..." And the bus rolled through the night... |

Because he called the forest brother Because he called the earth his mother They drove him out into the rain Some people even said the boy from the country was insane Because he spoke with fish in the creek He tried to tell us that the animals could speak Who knows, perhaps they do How do you know they don't Just because they've never spoken to you Boy from the country, he left his home when he was young Boy from the country, he loves the sun He tried to tell us that we should love the land We turned our heads and laughed And we did not understand Sometimes I think that the boy from the country Is the only one who sees Because the boy from the country Doesn't want to see the forest for the trees Boy from the country, he left his home when he was young Boy from the country, he loves the sun Words and music by Michael Murphy |

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) |

When I was a child, my family would travel Down to western Kentucky where my parents were born And there's a backwards old town that's often remembered So many times that my mem'ries are worn And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County Down by the Green River where Paradise lay Well, I'm sorry, my son, but you're too late in asking Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away Well sometimes we'd travel right down the Green River To the abandoned old prison down by Adrie Hill Where the air smelled like snakes and we'd shoot with our pistols But empty pop bottles was all we would kill And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County Down by the Green River where Paradise lay Well, I'm sorry, my son, but you're too late in asking Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away And the coal company came with the world's largest shovel And they tortured the timber and stripped all the land Well, they dug for their coal till the land was forsaken Then they wrote it all down as the progress of man And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County Down by the Green River where Paradise lay Well, I'm sorry, my son, but you're too late in asking Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County Down by the Green River where Paradise lay Well, I'm sorry, my son, but you're too late in asking Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away Words and music by John Prine |

Silently the morning mist is lying on the water Captive moonlight waiting for the dawn Softly like a baby's breath a breeze begins to whisper The sun is coming, quick you must be gone Smiling like a superstar the morning comes in singing The promise of another sunny day And all the flowers open up to gather in the sunshine I do believe that summer's here to stay Do you care what's happening around you Do your sense know the changes when they come Can you see yourselves reflected in the season Can you understand the need to carry on Riding on the tapestry of all there is to see So many ways and oh so many things Rejoicing in the differences There's no one just like me Yet as different as we are , we're still the same And oh I love the life within me I feel part of everything I see And oh I love the life around me A part of everything is here in me |

Christmas, Like A Lullaby
This song was first released on the Christmas, Like A Lullaby Album. It is the only album it has been released on. Christmas like a lullaby steals across the land A breeze upon the water, rainfall upon the sand We celebrate a baby born from spirit into man And Christmas like a lullaby steals across the land It's morning in Australia; In fact it's Christmas day And Colorado never seemed so very far away Back where night has fallen and it's still Christmas Eve And snow is on the mountains where I always hate to leave Here I am down under with a brand new family And Christmas bells are ringing And there's presents 'neath the tree I know that it's been said before and now I know it's true That home is where the heart is And Christmas lives there too And on this morning Peace on Earth Is still our fervent prayer And I can hear it being Whispered softly everywhere And guns are called to silence And anger called to still And brotherhood and sisterhood Surrounded by goodwill Christmas like a lullaby steals across the land A breeze upon the water, rainfall upon the sand We celebrate a baby born from spirit into man And Christmas like a lullaby steals across the land Words and music by John Denver |

When I was just a wee little boy, full of health and joy.
One Christmas morning I received The Marvellous Little Toy. A wonder to behold it was with many colours bright And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight. It went zip when it moved and bop when it stopped whirrrrr when it stood still I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will. The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise. For right on it's bottom were two big buttons that looked like big green eyes. I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted its lid. And when I set it down again, this is what it did. It went zip when it moved and bop when it stopped whirrrrr when it stood still I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will. It first marched left and then marched right, then marched under a chair and when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there. I started to cry but my Daddy laughed 'cause he knew that I would find. when i turned around my marvellous toy would be chugging from behind. It went zip when it moved and bop when it stopped and whirrrrr when it stood still I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will. The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy. And yesterday I gave to him my marvellous little toy His eyes nearly popped right out of his head and he gave a squeal of glee... Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me. It still goes zip when it moves and bop when it stops, whirrrrr when it stands still I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will. |

The season is upon us now
A time for gifts and giving And as the year draws to its close I think about my living The Christmastime when I was young The magic and the wonder But colors dull and candles dim And dark my standing under Oh little angel, shining light You've set my soul to dreaming You've given back my joy in life You' ve filled me with new meaning A savior king was born that day A baby just like you And as the Magi came with gifts I've come with my gift too That peace on earth fills up your time That brotherhood surrounds you That you may know the warmth of love And wrap it all around you It's just a wish, a dream I'm told From days when I was young Merry Christmas little Zachary Merry Christmas ev'ryone |

You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen
Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen. But do you recall the most famous reindeer of all Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer (reindeer) Had a very shiny nose (like a light bulb) And if you ever saw it (saw it) You would even say it glows (like a glowworm) All of the other reindeer (reindeer) Used to laugh and call him names (like Pinochio) They never let poor Rudolph (Rudolph) Join in any reindeer games (like Monopoly) Then one foggy Christmas Eve Santa came to say (Ho Ho Ho) Rudolph with your nose so bright Won't you guide my sleigh tonight Then all the reindeer loved him (loved him) And they shouted out with glee (whooppee) "Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer (reindeer) You'll go down in history! (like Columbus)" Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer Had a very shiny nose And if you ever saw it You would even say it glows All of the other reindeer Used to laugh and call him names They never let poor Rudolph Join in any reindeer games Then one foggy Christmas Eve Santa came to say Rudolph with your nose so bright Won't you guide my sleigh tonight Then all the reindeer loved him And they shouted out with glee "Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer You'll go down in history!" |

Away in a manger no crib for his bed.
The little Lord Jesus lay down his sweet head. The stars in the sky looked down where he lay. The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay. The cattle are lowing, the poor baby wakes. But little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes. I love thee Lord Jesus, look down from the sky. And stay by my side 'till morning is nigh. Be near me Lord Jesus, I ask thee to stay. Close by me forever and love me, I pray. Bless all the dear children in thy tender care. And fit us for heaven to live with thee there. Away in a manger no crib for his bed. The little Lord Jesus lay down his sweet head. The stars in the sky looked down where he lay. The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay. |

This song was first released on the Whose Garden Was This? album. It is the only album it has been released on. The song also appears on the album Christmas - Like A Lullaby, but in it's original format.
Dashing through the snow In a one horse open sleigh O'er the fields where we go Laughing all the way Bells on bobtails ring Making spirits bright What fun it is to ride and sing A sleighing song tonight Jingle Bells Jingle Bells Jingle all the way Oh what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh Jingle Bells Jingle Bells Jingle all the way Oh what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh Jingle Bells Jingle Bells Jingle all the way Oh what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh Jingle Bells Jingle Bells Jingle all the way Oh what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh Jingle, Jingle ...

What child is this, who, laid to rest,
On Mary's lap is sleeping? Whom angels greet with anthems sweet, While shepherds watch are keeping? This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing: Haste, haste to bring him laud, The babe, the son of Mary. Why lies he in such mean estate Where ox and ass are feeding? Good Christian, fear: for sinners here The silent Word is pleading. This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing: Haste, haste to bring him laud, The babe, the son of Mary. So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh, Come, peasant, king, to own him. the King of kings salvation brings, Let loving hearts enthrone him. This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing: Haste, haste to bring him laud, The babe, the son of Mary. |

A frosty Christmas Eve, when the stars where shining
I traveled for the home, where westward falls the hill And for many, many a village, in the darkness of the valley distant music reached me, peels of bells were ringing. Then spread my thoughts to olden times, to that first of Christmases when shepherds who were watching, heard music in the fields and they sat there and they marveled, and they knew they could not tell whether it were angels, or the bright stars a-singing But to me heard a far, it was starry music the singing of the angels, the comfort of our Lord words of old that come a traveling, by the riches of the times and I softly listened, as I stood upon the hill and I softly listened, as I stood upon the hill |
