Not so long ago, I packed my bags a hundred times
Didnt 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 Im 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 alls 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 Im 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 Im goin and what I want to do
Thanks to you

Goin up to alaska
Up to the land of the midnight sun
Where the whale and the polar bear run
Oer the icy blue sea
Goin up to alaska
Up to the north and the pioneer life
Where courage and strength still survive
And a man can be free
American child, does the call of the wild
Ever sing through the mist of your dreams
Does it fly with the wind when you waken again
When its gone do you know what it means
Can you picture the time when a man had to find
His own way through the cold
To come back again to all that youve been
Cant you see that its time to come home
To the flowers and seas and the rivers and the trees
And the earth whos the mother of all
A promise once made - will it shine, will it fade
Will we rise with the vision or fall
Goin up to alaska
Up to the land of the midnight sun
Where the whale and the polar bear run
Oer the icy blue sea
Goin up to alaska
Up to the north and the pioneer life
Where courage and strength still survive
And a man can be free
Men can be free
Goin up to alaska
Goin up to alaska
Goin up to alaska

It always seems that way
And Ive been thinking about you almost everyday
Thinking about the good times
Thinking about the rain
Thinking about how bad it feels alone again
Im sorry for the way things are in china
Im sorry things aint what they used to be
But more than anything else
Im sorry for myself
cause youre not here with me
Our friends ask all about you
I say youre doing fine
And I expect to hear from you almost anytime
But they all know Im crying
I cant sleep at night
They all know Im dying down deep inside
Im sorry fro all the lies I told you
Im sorry for the things I didnt say
But more than anything else
Im sorry for myself
I cant believe you went away
Im sorry if I took some things for granted
Im sorry for the chains I put on you
But more than anything else
Im sorry for myself
For living without you

Just to be everyone of your dreams come true
Just to sit by your window

Just to offer a prayer each day for you
Just to long for your kisses
Just to dream of your sighs
Just to know that Id give my life for you
For you for the rest of my life
For you all the best of my life
For you alone, only for you
Just to wake up each morning
Just to you by my side
Just to know that youre never really far away
Just a reason for living

Stonehaven sunset the waters on fire
My true love of singing, we kiss and conspire
Sing a song for the ocean a song for the sky
A song for tomorrow love sweet by and by
For the child who is coming and for dreams that come true
Sing a song for each other for me and for you
Sing a song for all lovers all the stars in the skies
Sing of stonehaven water home, stonehaven sunrise
Stonehaven sunset the deserts on fire
Christ on the cross again burns with desire
They are shooting at random though they aim at us all
Its the children who rise up and children who fall
All the angels are weeping the sweetest of tears
Fall like rivers of mercy to wash all our fears
Sing a song for old glory and a future that dies
Sing of stonehaven desert home, stonehaven sunrise
Stonehaven sunset the citys on fire
The soldiers just smile and say this guns for hire
Give in to the beast boy give in to the thrill
Its just human nature to hunt and to kill
We all die together and yet somehow alone
Just together we have memories and many are gone
Singing songs for old soldiers a chorus of sighs
Sing of stonehaven city home, stonehaven sunrise
Stonehaven sunset the mountains on fire
My spirit is lifted, rising higher and higher
All the prophets are laughing they say we told you so
Its one thing to play guessing games, another to know
For the needs of many are the sins of a few
And the day is forthcoming when accounting is due
Sing a song for sweet justice with a fire in her eyes
Sing of stonehaven mountain home, stonehaven sunrise
Stonehaven sunset the waters on fire
My true love of singing, we kiss and conspire
Sing a song for the ocean a song for the sky
A song for tomorrow love sweet by and by
For the child who is coming and for dreams that come true
Sing a song for each other for me and for you
Sing a song for all lovers all the stars in the skies
Sing of stonehaven water home, stonehaven sunrise

Higher Ground
This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the higher ground album, and has also been released on the john denver collection - rocky mountain high album.
There are those who can live
With the things they dont believe in
They are giving up their lives
For something that is less than it can be
Some have longed for a home
In a place of inspiration
Some will find the emptiness inside
By giving it all for the things that they believe
They believe
Maybe its just a dream in me
Maybe its just my style
Maybe its juat the freedom that Ive found
Given the possibility
Of living up to the dream in me
You know Ill be reaching for higher ground
I will stand on my own
I will live up to the vision
I will trust in what I feel
Id follow my heart until it brings me home
Brings me home
Maybe its just a dream in me
Maybe its just my style
Maybe its juat the freedom that Ive found
Given the possibility
Of living up to the dream in me
You know Ill be reaching for higher ground
Keep me through the night
Lead me to the light
Teach me the magic of wonder
Give me the spirit to fly
Maybe its just a dream in me
Maybe its just my style
Maybe its juat the freedom that Ive found
Given the possibility
Of living up to the dream in me
You know Ill be reaching for higher ground
Maybe its just a dream in me
Maybe its just my style

I often have wandered in deep contemplation
It seems that the mind runs wild when youre all alone
The way that it could be
The way that it should be
Things Id do differently if I could do them again
Ive always loved spring time, the passing of winter
The green of the new leaves and life goin on
The promise of morning
The long days of summer
Warm nights of loving her beneath the bright stars
Im just an old cowboy from high colorado
Too old to ride anymore, too blind to see
I sleep in the city now
Away from the mountains
Away from the cabin we always called home
I dream I left there
On an old palomino
Whispering jesse rode right by my side
I long to hold her
To hear her soft breathing
The touch of her cool hands on my fevered brow
Whispering jesse still rides in the mountains
Still sings in the canyons
Still lives in my heart

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 mornings 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

Come let me love you
Let me give my life to you

Let me die in your arms
Let me lay down beside you

Ection and the rocky mountain collection albums in a duet with sylvie vartan. john sings it again by himslef on the love again and a celebration of life albums.
I didnt think it could happen again
Im 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 didnt 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
Its 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 theres 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 Im dreaming
Or maybe Im going insane
Or maybe its just that Im falling in love again
Here I am standing beside you
Oh lifes such a wonderful game
Look at me now, Im falling in love
Look at me now, Im falling in love
Look at me now, Im falling in love again

This old guitar taught me to sing a love song
It showed me how to laugh and how to cry
It introduced me to some friends of mine
And brightened up some days
It helped me make it through some lonely nights
Oh, what a friend to have on a cold and lonely night
This old guitar gave me my lovely lady
It opened up her eyes and ears to me
It brought us close together
I guess it broke her heart
It opened up the space for us to be
What a lovely place and a lovely space to be
This old guitar gave me my life my living
All the things you know I love to do
To serenade the stars that shine
From a sunny mountainside
Most of all to sing my songs for you
I love to sing my songs for you
Yes, I do, you know
I love to sing my songs for you

There are times I fear I lose myself
I dont 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 cant find the sun
Theres 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, Ill 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 its just changes
Yes, and mankind marchin on
I know we cant live in yesterday
But compared to what were losin
And what it means to me
Id 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, Ill find peace there
To the wild country, where I belong
To the wild country, where I belong

Life in a high-rise can make you hungry
For things that you cant even see

With her trees in the forest and roots underground
Our father above us whos sigh is the wind
Paint us a rainbow without any end
As the river runs freely the mountain does rise
Let me touch with my fingers and see with my eyes
In the hearts of the children of pure love still roams
Like a bright star in heaven that lights our way home
Like the flower that shattered the stone
Sparrows find freedom beholding the sun
In the infinite beauty were all joined in one
I reach out before me and look to the sky
Then I hear someone whisper its something pass by
As the river runs freely the mountain does rise

All rivers are that one
