1.TAKE ME HOME, COUNTRY ROADS
Written：Bill Danoff／Taffy Danoff／John Denver
Almost heaven, West Virginia,
Blue Ridge Mountains
Shenandoah River.
Life is old there,
Older than the trees,
Younger than the mountains
Growin' like a breeze.
CHORUS
Country roads, take me home
To the place where I belong：
West Virginia, mountain momma,
Take me home, country roads.
All my memories gathered 'round her,
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water.
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky,
Misty taste of moonshine,
Teardrop in my eye.
CHORUS
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong：
West Virginia, mountain momma,
Take me home, country roads.
I hear her voice, in the mornin' hour she calls me,
Radio reminds me of my home far away
And driving down the road I get a feeling
I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
CHORUS
Country roads, take me home
To the place where I belong：
West Virginia, mountain momma,
Take me home, country roads.
2.FOLLOW ME
Lyrics：John Denver
Music：John Denver
It's by far the hardest thing I've ever done
To be so in love with you and so alone
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 you'll follow me
It's long been on my mind
You know, it's been a long, long time
I'll try to find the way that I can make
You understand
The way I feel about you
And just how much I need you
To be there where I can talk to you
When there's 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 you'll follow me
You see, I'd like to share my life with you
And show you things I've seen
Places that I'm going to
And places where I've been
To have you there beside me
And never be alone
And all the time that you're with me
Then we will be at home
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 you'll follow me
3.STARWOOD IN ASPEN
Lyrics：John Denver
Music：John Denver
It's a long way from LA to Denver
It's a long time to hang in the sky
It's a long way home to Starwood in Aspen
Sweet Rocky Mountain Paradise
Oh my sweet Rocky Mountain Paradise
Springtime is rolling round slowly
Grey skies are bringing me down
I can't remember when I've even been so lonely
I forgot what it's like to be home
Can't remember what it's like to be home
I think on my lady, sweet memories
I think on my children's sweet smiles
I think on my home in Starwood in Aspen
All my friends and the snow covered hills
All my friends are the snow covered hills
And I tell you I'm happy to be here
To share and consider this time
For I see here the shadows of changes
And a feeling of new friends to find
And I see here some new friends to find
It's a long way from this place to Denver
It's a long time to hang in the sky
It's a long way home to Starwood in Aspen
The sweet Rocky Mountain paradise
Oh my sweet Rocky Mountain paradise
4.FOR BABY (For Bobby)
Lyrics：John Denver
Music：John Denver
I'll walk in the rain by your side,
I'll cling to the warmth your hand,
I'll do anything to help you understand
I love you more than anybody can.
And the wind will whisper your name to me
little birds will sing along in time,
leaves will bow down when you walk by
and morning bells will chime
I'll be there when you're feelin' down
to kiss away the tears that you cry,
I'll share with you all the happiness I've found
a reflection of the love in your eyes.
And I'll sing you the songs of the rainbow,
I'll whisper of the joy that is mine
leaves will bow down when you by
and morning bells will chime
I'll walk in the rain by your side,
I'll cling to the warmth your tiny hand,
I'll do anything to help you satisfied
I love you more than anybody can.
And the wind will whisper your name to me
little birds will sing along in time,
leaves will bow down when you walk by
and morning bells will chime
5.RHYMES AND REASONS
Lyrics：John Denver
Music：John Denver
So you speak to me of sadness and the coming of the winter,
Fear that is within you now that seems to never end,
And the dreams that have escaped you and a hope that you've
forgotten
And you tell me that you need me now and you want to be my
friend,
And you wonder where we're going,
where's the rhyme and where's the reason,
And it's you cannot accept it is here we must begin
To seek the wisdom of the children
and the graceful way of flowers in the wind.
For the children and the flowers are my sisters and my brothers,
Their laughter and their loveliness would clear a cloudy day.
Like the music of the mountains and the colors of the rainbow
They're a promise of the future and a blessing for today.
Though the cities start to crumble and the towers fall around us
The sun is slowly fading and it's colder than the sea.
It is written： From the desert to the mountains they shall lead
us,
By the hand and by the heart they will comfort you and me.
In their innocence and trusting they will teach us to be free.
For the children and the flowers are my sisters and my brothers,
Their laughter and their loveliness would clear a cloudy day.
And the song that I am singing is a prayer to non believers,
Come and stand beside us we can find a better way.
6.Leaving On A Jet Plane
Lyrics：John Denver
Music：John Denver
All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go,
I'm standing here outside your door,
I hate to wake you up to say good-bye.
But the dawn is breakin',
It's early morn,
The taxi's waitin'
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 leavin' 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've let you down
So many times I've played around,
I tell you now they don't mean a thing.
Ev'ry place I go I'll think of you,
Ev'ry 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 leavin' 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,
Then 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：
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 leavin' on a jet plane,
Don't know when I'll be back again,
Oh, babe, I hate to go.
I'm leavin' on a jet plane,
Don't know when I'll be back again,
Oh, babe, I hate to go.
7.The Eagle And The Hawk
Lyrics：John Denver／Mike Taylor
Music：John Denver／Mike Taylor
I am the eagle, I live in high country
In rocky cathedrals that reach to the sky
I am the hawk and there's blood on my feathers
But time is still turning they soon will be dry
And all those who see me and all who believe in me
Share in the freedom I feel when I fly
Come dance with the west wind and touch on the mountain tops
Sail o'er the canyons and up to the stars
And reach for the heavens and hope for the future
And all that we 'can' be, not what we are
8.Sunshine on my Shoulders
Lyrics：John Denver
Music：John Denver
Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely
Sunshine almost always makes me high
If I had a day that I could give you
I'd give to you the day just like today
If I had a song that I could sing for you
I'd sing a song to make you feel this way
Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely
Sunshine almost always makes me high
If I had a tale that I could tell you
I'd tell a tale sure to make you smile
If I had a wish that I could wish for you
I'd make a wish for sunshine for all the while
Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely
Sunshine almost all the time makes me high
9.GOODBYE AGAIN
Lyrics：John Denver
Music：John Denver
It's five o'clock this mornin' and the sun is on the rise
There's frosting on the windowpane and sorrow in your eyes
The stars are fading quietly, night is nearly gone
And so you turn away from me and tears begin to come
And it's goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leaving you
Goodbye again, as if you didn't know
It's goodbye again and I wish you could tell me
Why do we always fight when I have to go
It seems a shame to leave you now, you lay so soft and warm
I long to lay me down again and hold you in my arms
I love to kiss the tears away and give you back your smile
But other voices beckon me and for a little while
It's goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leaving you
Goodbye again, as if you didn't know
It's goodbye again and I wish you could tell me
Why do we always fight when I have to go
I have to go and see some friends of mine
and some that I don't know
And some who aren't familiar with my name
It's something that's inside of me not hard to understand
It's anyone who'll listen to me sing
And if your hours are empty now, who am I to blame？
Do you think if I were always here our love would be the same？
As it is the time we have is worth the time alone
And lying by your side's the greatest peace I've ever known
And it's goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leaving you
Goodbye again, as if you didn't know
It's goodbye again and I wish you could tell me
Why do we always fight when I have to go
10.POEMS, PRAYERS AND PROMISES
Lyrics：John Denver
Music：John Denver
I've been lately thinking about my life's time
All the things I've done and how it's been
And I can't help believin' 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
Spent a time or two in my own home.
CHORUS
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.
Lie there by the fire and watch the evening tire,
While all my friends and my old lady, sit and pass a pipe around
(alt- sit and watch the sun go down)
And 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,
What about tomorrow and what about our dreams
And all the memories we share.
Days they pass so quickly now, the nights are seldom long
Time around me whispers when it's cold.
The changes somehow frightens me, still I have to smile
It turns me on to think of growing old.
Although my life's been good to me, there's still so much to do
So many things my mind has never known
I'd like to raise a family, I'd like to sail away
And dance across the mountains on the moon.
CHORUS
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.
Lie there by the fire and watch the evening tire,
While all my friends and my old lady, sit and pass a pipe around
(alt- sit and watch the world turn 'round)
And 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,
What about tomorrow and what about our dreams
And all the memories we share.
11.ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGH
Lyrics：John Denver
Music：John Denver
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,
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 strings already broken
and he doesn't really care,
it keeps changin' fast, and it don't last for long.
It's a Colorado Rocky Mountain High,
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
The shadows from the starlight are softer than a lullabye.
Rocky Mountain High, ...in Colorado....Rocky Mountain High.
He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds below,
saw everything as far as you can see.
And they say that he got crazy once and that he
tried to touch the sun,
and he lost a friend, but kept the memory.
Now he walks in quiet solitude, the forest and the stream,
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
You can talk to God and listen to the casual reply.
Rocky Mountain High, ....in Colorado....Rocky Mountain High.
Now his life is full of wonder,
but his heart still knows some fear,
of the simple things he can not comphend.
Why they try to tear the mountains down
to bring in a couple more.
More people, more scars upon the land.
It's 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
It's the Colorado Rocky Mountain High,
I've seen it raining fire in the sky.
Friend around the camp fire and everybody's high....
Rocky Mountain High, Rocky Mountain High, Rocky Mountain High,
Rocky Mountain High.
