John Denver - Poems, Prayers and Promises

John Denver - Poems, Prayers and Promises Lyrics

Send Poems, Prayers and Promises Ringtone to your Cell

I?ve been lately thinking about my life?s time
All the things I?ve done, how it?s been
And I can?t help believing in my own mind
I know I?m gonna hate to see it end

I?ve seen a lot of sunshine, slept out in the rain
Spent a night or two all on my own
I?ve known my lady?s pleasures, had myself some friends
And spent a night or two in my own home

I have to say it now, it?s been a good life, all in all
It?s really fine to have a chance to hang around
And lie there by the fire and watch the evening tire
While all my friends and my old lady sit and pa*s the pipe around

Talk of poems and prayers and promises and things that we believe in
How sweet it is to love someone, how right it is to care
How long it?s been since yesterday and what about tomorrow?
What about our dreams and all the memories we share?

The days they pa*s so quickly now, nights are seldom long
Time around me whispers when it?s cold
The changes somehow frighten me, still I have to smile
It turns me on to think of growing old

For though my life?s been good to me there?s still so much to do
So many things my mind's never known
I?d like to raise a family, I?d like to sail away
And dance across the mountains on the moon, yes I would

I have to say it now, it?s been a good life, all in all
It?s really fine to have the chance to hang around
And lie there by the fire and watch the evening tire
While all my friends and my old lady, sit and watch the sun go down

Talk of poems and prayers and promises and things that we believe in
How sweet it is to love someone, how right it is to care
How long it?s been since yesterday and what about tomorrow?
What about our dreams and all the memories we share?
