Its About Time
This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the its about time album, and has also been released on the country classics album.
Theres a full moon over india and gandhi lives again
Whos 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
Its about time we realize it were all in this together
Its about time we find out its all of us or none
Its about time we recognize it these changes in the weather
Its about time, its about changes and its about time
Theres 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 mothers breast he makes his strongest stand
Its about time we start to see it the earth is our only home
Its about time we start to face it we cant make it here all alone
Its about time we start to listen to the voices in the wind
Its about time, its about changes and its about time
Theres a man who is my brother, I just dont know his name
But I know his home and family because I know we feel the same
And it hurts me when hes hungry and when his children cry
I too am a father and that little one is mine
Its about time we begin to turn the world around
Its about time we start to make it the dream weve always known
Its about time we start to live the family of man
Its about time, its about changes and its about time
Its about peace and its about plenty and its about time
Its about you and me together and its about time

Im bringin me home to you
Its all that I have to give
My life, my love, my everything
Its you I choose to be with
Had a wonderful time in the city
I smile when I recall
The space, the songs, the company
I really had a ball

Is me out on the road alone
With the moon lookin over my shoulder
Im findin my way back home
Im bringin me home to you
Its all that I have to give
My life, my love, my everything
Its you I choose to be with
Ridin high in the rocky mountains
Its a quiet and peaceful time
Id swear the stars are smilin
Like they know whats on my mind
You see on any such an occasion
My thoughts will turn to you
The time I spend all by myself
I mostly spend with you
La la la.......
Im bringin me home to you
Its all that I have to give
My life, my love, my everything

When I laid down beside you
And all the love that you showed
I want to live my life with you

My life, my love, my everything
Its you I choose to be with
Its you I choose to be with
Its you I want to live with

Circus
This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the rhymes and reasons album, and has also been released on the country roads collection album.
If I look like home to you
If I am your sign
Dont try to understand it girl
When I draw the line
It hasnt come to this
That you can say I waste my time
Looking everywhere and going nowhere
For the skies they look so lazy now
Heavy are the clouds
Theres nothing here that I could learn
Or what its all about
You havent said a thing to me
And you talk so very loud
Looking everywhere and going nowhere
Well I think Ill try the circus
Or go back to mexico
Its time to make mistakes again
Its time to change the show
Its time and time and time again
To find another way
Its time to gather forces
And get out of yesterday
Because I lost what I was looking for
Theres nothing left to share
I need to take myself away
To be some other where
A face, a life, a minute more
I dont think I can spare
Looking everywhere and going nowhere
Cause I tell you when you hurt me
And you just dont seem to know
I inform you that Im lonely
And you still dont think Ill go
So if I lie to you and smile a thought
Its only half way here
Its just the circus and Im singing Im never really near
If I look like home to you
If I am your sign
Dont try to understand it girl
When I draw the line
It hasnt come to this
That you can say I waste my time
Looking everywhere
Looking everywhere
Looking anywhere and going nowhere

Wild Montana Skies
This song appears on nine albums, and was first released on the its about time album, and has also been released on the greatest hits vol 3, changes, the very best of john denver (double cd),
Ry classics, the country roads collection and the rocky mountain collection albums. a live version also appears on the wildlife concert and the best of john denver live albums.
He was born in the bitterroot valley in the early morning rain
Wild geese over the water headin north and home again
Bringin a warm wind from the south
Bringin the first taste of the spring
His mother took him to her breast and softly she did sing
Oh montana, give this child a home
Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own
Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes
Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild montana skies
His mother died that summer and he never learned to cry
He never knew his father and he never did ask why
He never knew the answers that would make an easy way
But he learned to know the wilderness and to be a man that way
His mothers brother took him in to family and his home
Gave him a hand that he could lean on and a strength to call his own
And he learned to be a farmer and he learned to love the land
And he learned to read the seasons and he learned to make a stand
Oh montana, give this child a home
Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own
Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes
Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild montana skies
On the eve of his 21st birthday he set out on his own
He was 30 years and runnin when he found his way back home
Ridin a storm across the mountains and an aching in his heart
Said he came to turn the pages and to make a brand new start
Now he never told a story of the time that he was gone
Some say he was a lawyer, some say he was a john
There was somethin in the city that he said he couldnt breathe
And there was somethin in the country that he said he couldnt leave
Oh montana, give this child a home
Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own
Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes
Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild montana skies
Now some say he was crazy and theyre glad that he is gone
But some of us miss him and well try to carry on
Giving a voice to the forest, giving a voice to the dawn
Giving a voice to the wilderness and the land that he lived on
Oh montana, give this child a home
Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own
Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes
Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild montana skies
Oh montana, give this child a home
Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own
Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes
Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild montana skies

True Love Takes Time
This song was first released on the one world album. it is the only album it has been released on.
As I travel down the road and search the empty sky
Waiting for the moment when my eyes will see
Many are the memories the mysteries of time
How they dance around and whisper endlessly
Yes Ive travelled down this road before
Where so many men have come and gone
But you know it takes time
(true love takes time)
You know that true love takes time
(true love takes time)
And its so very hard to find
(true love takes time)
You know that love takes time
It seemed impossible that I could care again
So it seemed I had forgotten how to give
What is this miracle that brings me back my dreams
All at once I can remember how to live
Yes Ive travelled down this road before
Where so many men have come and gone
But you know it takes time
(true love takes time)
You know that true love takes time
(true love takes time)
And its so very hard to find
(true love takes time)
You know that true love takes time
I have been too much alone for oh so many years
Looking for someone to sing with me
Sweet harmony
My heart is open now and tender to the touch
But there is love enough to heal me in your hands
Ill give you all my nights
All my sun and rainy days
Ill give you all the time it takes to understand
Weve travelled down this road before
Where so many fools have come and gone
But you know it takes time
(true love takes time)
You know that true love takes time
(true love takes time)
And its so very hard to find
(true love takes time)
You know that true love takes time
(true love takes time)
(true love takes time)
(true love takes time)

Sonnet - God's Time Is Best
There is a time to play, a time to read;
There is a time to work, a time to rest;
There is a time to plough, a time to seed;
But when it is God's time, it is the best.
There is a time to laugh, a time to cry;
There is a time for self, a time for guest;
There is a time to stop, a time to try;
But when it is God's time, it is the best.
There is a time to eat, a time to bake;
There is a time to fly, a time to nest;
There is a time to break, a time to make;
But when it is God's time, it is the best.
There is a time to learn, a time to test;
But when it is God's time, it is the best.

I Cant Escape
This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the one world album. it has also been released on the country roads collection album.
Funny thing about this little heart of mine
All the ways that it can say
(I love you)
Longer than forever
Till the end of time
No matter baby come what may
(I love you)
Look at me now sittin all by myself
Face another sleepless night all alone
All I look forward to is lying here living this song
I cant escape thinking every day about you
Cant escape wishing dear you were still mine
Cant escape thinking maybe I still love you
Cant escape caring for you all of the time
Listen to the music on the radio
Top forty hits of yesterday
(I love you)
Leavin on a jet plane
Blowin in the wind
The silly games that people play
(I love you)
Each of them carries your memory still
I can still see that look in your eyes
The one that preceded your kisses and followed your sighs
I cant escape thinking every day about you
Cant escape wishing dear you were still mine
Cant escape thinking maybe I still love you
Cant escape caring for you all of the time
Every rain in the morning reminds me of you
Every night when its cold outside
Every time that I ache inside
(I love you)
(I love you)
Sometimes I wish it was ten years ago
We were starting all over again
Yet the way that I feel is much more than just remembering when
I cant escape thinking every day about you
Cant escape wishing dear you were still mine
Cant escape thinking maybe I still love you
Cant escape caring for you all of the time
All of the time
All of the time

Time Time Time
Time time time
Make time, give time, take time out
Win time, cost time, the time of your life
Spend time, sell time, the good times and the bad
Kill time, zero time, all the time in the world
Time watch, time travel, time to begin
Time table, time square, can I fit you in
Time frame, time to go, time that you grew up
But tell me...
How do you feel?

The Harder They Fall
This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the dreamland express album. it was also released as a live version on the wildlife concert album .
Aspen, colorado on a saturday night
Jesse wishes she was at home
Upset because her baby just aint treatin her right
So afraid of being alone
Said she heard some stories hes been runnin around
Said somehow she knows its all true
She says a breaking heart can make a terrible sound
She said she dont know what to do
Think about a bad time, cant get much worse
Think about a hard time, take it to the wall
This wont be the last time, sure aint the first
The bigger they are, the harder they fall
You might say shes caught between a rock and a hard place
You might say she just cant win
Some just cant recover from a slap in the face
Some just get right up and start all over again
Think about a bad time, cant get much worse
Think about a hard time, take it to the wall
This wont be the last time, sure aint the first
The bigger they are, the harder they fall
Think about a bad time, cant get much worse
Think about a hard time, take it to the wall
This wont be the last time, sure aint the first
The bigger they are, the harder they fall
Aspen, colorado on a saturday night
Jesse wishes she was at home
Shes mad because her baby just aint treatin her right
So afraid of being alone
So afraid of being alone
Nobody wants to be all alone
She dont want to be all alone
So afraid of being alone
We dont want to be all alone

My Last Time
Last time, I didnt say anything
Last time, I always heard the phones ring.
Last time, it was the 36th time,
And last time, I couldnt make a rhyme
This time, Im gunna let it all out
This time, Im gunna stand up and shout
This time, Im at my breaking point
This time, when Im done, I'll go roll a joint
Next time, it wont be different from now
Next time, it will be the same if I say 'Ow! '
Next time, it will be the last for me
Next time, you will be crying 'How could this be? '
Because next time, I will over do it
Next time, wont be an accident one bit
Next time, wont be like the first time
Next time, will be my time
It wil be my time to leave
My time to heave
My time for me to go
You never cared, so
Why start now?
It will disgust me if you ask 'How? '
After Im gone..
Gone. Forever Gone..

Youre 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 someones eyes
A dream thats like a promise meant to be
Giving rise to speculation
On a place called paradise
If Ive ever been there
Its when you were with me
Youre so beautiful
I cant believe your eyes
Each time I see you again
Youre so beautiful
That Im 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 loves eyes
Shining in the night
Youre so beautiful
I cant believe your eyes
Each time I see you again
Youre so beautiful
That Im 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
Youre so beautiful
I cant believe your eyes
Each time I see you again
Youre so beautiful
That Im 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

In My Heart
This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the autograph album, and has also been released on the country roads collection album.
I dont know why
We still live together
Were so far apart
So much of the time
I dont 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 dont understand
If time is the reason
Then nobody can
In my heart it is just an illusion
Its not even real
Much more than you think
Its much more than you feel
My ears are still ringing
Theres 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
Im wasting my time
In my heart it is just an illusion
Its not even real
Much more than you think
Its much more than you feel
Do you feel
Is this real
How I feel
In my heart

Time For Everything
we all have the time for everything…
a time to play and a time to sleep
a time to move and a time to be stiff
a time to cry and a time to laugh
a time to be weak and a time to be tough.
a time to doubt and a time to trust
a time to agree and a time to contrast
a time to be slow and a time to be fast
a time to fade and a time to last.
having twenty four hours a day, we have…
a time to be good and a time to be bad
a time to be mad and a time to be glad
a time to be silent and a time to be loud
a time to be down and a time to be proud
a time to be smart and a time to be dumb
a time to be hurt and a time to be loved
a time to be honest and a time to lie
a time to live and of course a time to die.

A Time For Now
a time to cheer, a time to cry,
a time to live, a time to die,
a time to sleep, a time to wake,
a time for real, a time for fake,
a time for truth, a time to lie,
a time to laugh, a time to sigh,
a time to stand, a time to fall,
a time for one, a time for all,
a time for love, a time for hate,
a time to run, a time to wait,
a time to stay, a time to flee,
a time for you, a time for me.

Time
Time waits for no Man
what time is it?
time to change your ways.
Time is of the essence
how much time have I got
can you give me more time?
Time ticks by slowly
and time can go really fast
not much time left now.
Take some time out
time to make amends
Isn't it time to say sorry?
The tick tock of time
Old Father Time
as time goes by.
There's always time tomorrow
make the most of your time
don't waste your time.
Time after time after time
isn't it time you learnt?
time you sorted yourself out.
That's it time is up
time to call it a day
see you again sometime?

Time (part 7) .
time will always change,
time doesn't stay the same,
time brings money and fame,
time is not a game,
time can break you apart,
time can leave you with a broken hart,
time can get you evicted,
time can get you convicted,
time can get you released,
time can't bring back the deceased,
time is what it takes to make wine,
time has a start but no finish line,
time is what boxing has in a ring,
time crowns a queen and a king.

Take my hand and say youll follow me
Its long been on my mind
You know its been a long, long time

The way I feel about you and just how much I need you
To be there where I can talk to you
When theres no one else around
Follow me where I go what I do and who I know
Make it part of you to be a part of me
Follow me up and down all the way and all around
Take my hand and say youll follow me
You see Id like to share my life with you
And show you things Ive seen
Places that Im going to places where Ive been
To have you there beside me and never be alone
And all the time that youre with me

Follow me up and down all the way
Take my hand and I will follow you

Patterns Of Time
carefully looking at this time
and that other time
how they correlate to connect each time
of the next time
to follow the same pattern of time
with no dime
but a crime
if a time
is wasted on no time
for you will never find a time
on the same time
that was underutilized by the time
you realize it were time
it will never be the same time
but a different time
at that point in time
on each pattern of time
from am to pm it is time
still morning to midnight is time
and any time
of the day is time
as from monday to sunday time
year start to midyear and year end is time
so, time
ticking as you may be aware of time
that everything is well connected to time
and must be done on time
for you will never find the same time
of that very point in time
-
do what you can, on time. for time is never a fact but a situation of the same condition on a different setting, but still its time. therefore, time is longer than rope and shorter than your scope though at times time is beyond our scope of reach and intelligence of the mind on time.

Close your eyes and rest your weary mind
I promise I will stay right here beside you
Today our lives were joined, became entwined
I wish you could know how much I love you

Are there meanings that youve never seen before

And its like Ive never ever loved before

Yes Ive been dreaming about you every day
Each and every day
Had I been thinking about you all night long

To make you understand my love is real
That youre on my mind all the time
I wish to God you were mine once again
I remember talkin to you
I remember walkin with you
I remember laughin all the time
And you were mine
Now the days seem so long
I cant face a night alone
I beg you please wont you please come home
I remember talkin to you
I remember walkin with you
I remember laughin all the time

I remember lovin you alone
And now the days seem so long
