Thought Of You
This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the its about time album. it has also been released on the country classics album.
Its been almost a year since that beautiful weekend
It was more than a lifetime ago
How it happens to mind after all of this time
And brings tears to my eyes I dont know
Its the thought of you
And the way that it hurts to be so much in love
The thought of you
Brings it all my way
I know that its late, Im sorry I called
Im surprised to have found you at home
Its just once in awhile I remember your number
I was hoping that youd be alone
For I thought of you
And the way you can turn it around with a smile
The thought of you
Brings it all my way
I know that its over, but I cant discover a way to erase how I feel
I remember the nights and the passionate fights and I know that I love you and I always will
And I want you to know that Im always here for you
Any day, any night, any time
It happened before, it could happen once more
Theres a chance that you might change your mind
For I thought of you
And the way that it feels to be safe in your arms
The thought of you
Brings it all my way
I know that its over, but I cant discover a way to erase how I feel
I remember the nights and the passionate fights
And I know that I love you and I always will
Its been almost a year since that beautiful weekend
It was more than a lifetime ago

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

I Remember Romance

I remember romance
Bubblebaths at night
Breakfast in the afternoon
Love by candlelight
Love by candlelight
I remember romance
And lying in her arms
Her hair across my shoulder
Her breast upon my arm
Her breast upon my arm
I remember romance
And laughing at the moon
Dancing at the rainbows end
And losing her too soon
And losing her too soon
I know we both are sorry
I know we both still care
Oh how could we have lost it
A love beyond compare
A love beyond compare

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

Just to try to tell you how I really feel
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 lovin you alone
And now the days seem so long

With the moon lookin over my shoulder

Whats On Your Mind
This song appears on four albums, and was first released on the john denver album. it has also been released on the country classics, reflections and the country roads collection albums.
You know sometimes I cant get to sleep at night
I cant quiet my heart or my mind
I toss and turn, I ache and burn
I get caught in the passing of time
Its like too many miles, too many heartaches
Too much that needs to be done
Yes and too many sidewalks, too many people
Too many hours done
Whats on your mind
Whats on my mind
Is really quite the same
Ive been working so hard
And Im ready to play
I know just the right game
Whats on your mind
Is whats on my mind
Thats the way its gonna be
Im gonna find me a place I can hide
I want you right next to me
On Ive never seen a more beautiful day
Its my favorite time of year
The colors are changing, shes rearranging
And Im so glad to be here
Ive been up and around, Ive been lost, Ive been found
Ive seen love face to face in my dreams
And the things that I know and the things that I show
Are not always just what they seem
Whats on your mind
Is whats on my mind
Its just that way
Its like catching a ride
On a beautiful river
Let it carry us all away
Whats on your mind
And whats on my mind
Is really nothing new
I want to get you alone
I want to make you my own
Baby, I want to make love with you
Whats on your mind
And whats on my mind
Is really quite the same
Ive been working so hard
And Im ready to play
Baby, I know just the right game
Whats on your mind
And whats on my mind
Is really nothing new
I want to get you alone
I want to make you my own
Baby, I want to make love with you

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

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

Fire & Rain
This song appears on three albums, and was first released on the poems, prayers & promises album, and has also been released on the changes and reflections: songs of love and life albums.
Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone
Susanne the plans they made put an end to you
I woke up this morning and wrote down this song
I just cant remember who to send it to
Ive seen fire and Ive seen rain
Seen sunny days that I thought would never end
Seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought Id see you again
Wont you look down upon me jesus you got to help me make a stand
You just got to see me through another day
My bodys aching, my time is at hand
I just cant make it any other way
Ive seen fire and Ive seen rain
Seen sunny days that I thought would never end
Seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought Id see you again
Ive been walking my mind to an easy time my back turned twards the sun
Lord knows when the cold wind blows it will turn your head around
Theres hours of time on the telephone line theyll talk about things to come
Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground
Oh, Ive seen fire and Ive seen rain
Seen sunny days that I thought would never end
Seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought Id see you one more time again

This song was first released on the poems, prayers and promises album. it is the only album it has been released on.
Time as Ive known it
Doesnt take much time to pass by me
Minutes into days turn into months turn into years
They hurry by me
Still I love to see the sun go down
And the world go around
Dreams full of promises
Hopes for the future
Ive had many
Dreams I cant remember now
Hopes that Ive forgotten
Faded memories
Still I love to see the sun go down
And the world go around
And I love to see the morning
As it steals across the sky
I love to remember
And I love to wonder why
And I hope that Im around
So I can be there when I die
When Im gone
I hope that you will think of me
In moments when youre happy
And youre smiling
That a thought will comfort you
On cold and cloudy days
If you are crying
Still I love to see the sun go down
And the world go around
And around and around

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

I swear to you our time has just begun
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
Lady, are you happy, do you feel the way I do
Are there meanings that youve never seen before
Lady, my sweet lady, I just cant believe its true
And its like Ive never ever loved before

Of course we have our differences
You shouldnt be surprised
Its as natural as changes
In the seasons and the skies
Sometimes we grow together
Sometimes we drift apart
A wiser man than I might know
The seasons of the heart
And Im walking here beside you
In the early evening chill
A thing weve always loved to do
I know we always will
We have so much in common
So many things we share
That I cant believe my heart
When it implies that youre not there
Love is why I came here in the first place
Love is now the reason I must go
Love is all I ever hoped to find here
Love is still the only dream I know
So I dont know how to tell you
Its difficult to say
I never in my wildest dreams
Imagined it this way
But sometimes I just dont know you
Theres a stranger in our home
When Im lying right beside you
Is when Im most alone
And I think my heart is broken
Theres an emptiness inside
So many things Ive longed for
Have so often been denied
Still I wouldnt try to change you
Theres no one thats to blame
Its just some things that mean so much
And we just dont feel the same
Love is why I came here in the first place
Love is now the reason I must go
Love is all I ever hoped to find here
Love is still the only dream I know
True love is still the only dream I know

Im sorry things aint what they used to be
But more than anything else

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

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

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)

The Game Is Over
This song was first released on the whose garden was this? album. it is the only album it has been released on.
Time, there was a time
You could talk to me without speaking
You would look at me and Id know
All there was to know
Days, I think of you
And remember the lies we told
In the night, the love we knew
The things we shared when our hearts were beating together
Days, that were so few
Full of love and you
Gone, the days are gone now
Days, that seem so wrong now
Life, wont be the same
Without you to hold again in my arms
To ease the pain and remember
When our love was a reason for living
Days, that were so few
Full of love and you
The game is over

Theres a storm across the valley, clouds are rollin in
The afternoon is heavy on your shoulders
Theres a truck out on the four lane a mile or more away
The whinin of his wheels just makes it colder
Hes an hour away from ridin on your prayers up in the sky
And ten days on the road are barely gone
Theres a fire softly burnin, suppers on the stove
But its the light in your eyes that makes him warm
Hey its good to be back home again
Sometimes this old farm feels like a long-lost friend
Yes n hey, its good to be back home again
Theres all the news to tell him, howd you spend your time
Whats the latest thing the neighbors say
And your mother called last friday, sunshine made her cry
You felt the baby move just yesterday
Hey its good to be back home again - yes it is
Sometimes this old farm feels like a long-lost friend
Yes n hey, its good to be back home again
Oh the time that I can lay this tired old body down
Feel your fingers feather soft upon me
The kisses that I live for, the love that lights my way
The happiness that that livin with you brings me
Its the sweetest thing I know of, just spending time with you
Its the little things that make a house a home
Like a fire softly burnin supper on the stove
The light in your eyes that makes me warm
Hey its good to be back home again
Sometimes this old farm feels like a long-lost friend
Yes n hey, its good to be back home again
Hey its good to be back home again - you know it is
Sometimes this old farm feels like a long-lost friend
Hey, its good to be back home again

Sticky summer weather always pains me
Its like living beneath a blanket I cant breathe
The days are like an oven the nights forever
Nothing to do not much else to see
Then again, I cant stand the thought of winter
Aint got a fire theres nobody to keep me warm
The night is grey and my coffee tastes so bitter
My memoreis go raging back to storm
Seems like twenty years ago in the springtime
The rain was sweet the wind was cool and clean
I had a girl she was a lady I could talk to
Now its almost like shes never been
Ive been a long time looking for rainbows
Trying to find a way to believe tomorrow
There was a time I think when I remember dreaming
There was a reason I cant find it now
As I recall it almost made my life worth living
It must be hiding like the sun behind a cloud
Ive been a long time looking for rainbows
Trying to find a way to believe tomorrow
Sticky summer weather always pains me
Its like living beneath a blanket I cant breathe

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
Maybe its juat the freedom that Ive found

Of living up to the dream in me
You know Ill be reaching for higher ground
