Here i am closing my eyes again
Trying so hard not to see
All the things that i see
Almost willing to lie again
I swear that it just isn't so
It just isn't me
We are never alone
Even though we'd like to be
The i go and open my eyes again
Love in your eyes is the thing
That i'd most like to see
I'd be willing to die again
To know of a place and a time
Where it always could be
To be always with you
And you always with me
This is my autograph
Here is the songs i sing
Here is my cry and my laugh
Here is the love that i bring
To be always with you
And you always with me
Say a prayer and open your heart again
You are the love and the life
That we all need to see
Always willing to shine and then
Peace on this earth is the way
That it always can be
To be always with you
And you always with me
This is my autograph
Here is the songs i sing
Here is my cry and my laugh
Here is the love that i bring
To be always with you
And you always with me

To sail on a dream on a crystal clear ocean
To ride on the crest of a wild raging storm
To work in the service of life and the living
In search of the answers to questions unknown
To be part of the movement and part of the growing
Part of beginning to understand
Aye, calypso, the places you've been to
The things that you've shown us
The stories you tell
Aye, calypso, i sing to your spirit
The men who have served you
So long and so well
Like the dolphin who guides you
You bring us beside you
To light up the darkness and show us the way
For though we are strangers in your silent world
To live on the land we must learn from the sea
To be true as the tide
And free as the wind-swell
Joyful and loving in letting it be
Aye, calypso, the places you've been to
The things that you've shown us
The stories you tell
Aye, calypso, i sing to your spirit
The men who have served you
So long and so well
Aye, calypso, the places you've been to
The things that you've shown us
The stories you tell
Aye, calypso, i sing to your spirit
The men who have served you
So long and so well

spirit album. it has also been released on the rocky mountain
collection, reflections：songs of love and life and the country

I guess growing isn't hard to do
Just stand against the wall
Once i was just two feet high
Today i'm six feet tall
But knowing who to listen to
Is something else again
Words just whistle ＆round my head
Like seasons in the wind
All across the water the clouds are sailing
They won't let me look at the sky
All i want to do is try and find myself
Come and let me look in your eyes
In searching for the way to go
I've followed all the rules
The way they say to chooses between
The wise men and the fools
I listen to the words they say
I read what i should read
I do whatever's right to do
Try to be what i should be
Someone let me in i think the sky is falling
Seems i've gotten lost on my way
All i want to do is try and find myself
Come and let me look in your eyes
Ah, but wisdom isn't underground
Nor on a mountainside
And where am i to take myself
There's no place here to hide
All across the universe the stars are fading
Seems we've gotten lost on our way
All i want to do is try and find myself
Come and let me look in your eyes
Come and let me look in your eyes
Come and let me look in your eyes

Yes i've been dreaming about you every day

Had i been thinking about you all night long
I even wrote a song
Just to try to tell you how i really feel
To make you understand my love is real
That you're 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 can't face a night alone
I beg you please won't you please come home
I remember talkin' to you
I remember walkin' with you
I remember laughin' all the time
I remember singin' to you
I remember dreamin' with you
I remember lovin' you alone
And now the days seem so long
I can't face a night all alone
I beg you please won't you please come home

i want to live album, and has also been released on the changes,
reflections：songs of love and life and the country roads collect
Lbums.
Dearest esmeralda, in another age
Antiques would be modern, we would be the rage
Silk would be in fashion, we would dress in lace
Love would be the passion and the saving grace
I slept one rainy night with you in paris
Made up for a thousand wasted years
Dearest esmeralda, you are magic
I close my eyes and you make love appear
Dancing in the shimmer of a crystal chandelier
Shadows singin' so low only we could hear
Moving to the glimmer, shaking to the storm
Outside it was raging, but inside it was warm
We said goodnight in the candlelight and thunder
Now i wake and find you're never there
I'm becoming old enough to wonder
Happy that i'm still too young to care
Masterpieces crumble, empires tumble down
Refugees and fantasies go underground
Romance lasts forever, love don't fade away
They may take our future, but they don't stop yesterday
＆cause somewhere in the cloudy skies of paris
We were part of some artist's design
Dearest esmeralda, you are magic
In the gray around me how you shine
Oh oh, how you shine
7.Fire And Rain
Words：james taylor
Music：james taylor

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 can't remember who to send it to
I've seen fire and i've 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 i'd see you again
Won't you look down upon me jesus you got to help me make a
stand
You just got to see me through another day
My body's aching, my time is at hand
I just can't make it any other way
I've seen fire and i've 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 i'd see you again
I've been walking my mind to an easy time my back turned t'wards
the sun
Lord knows when the cold wind blows it will turn your head
around
There's hours of time on the telephone line they'll talk about
things to come
Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground
Oh, i've seen fire and i've 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 i'd see you one more time again

I'll walk in the rain by your side
I'll cling to the warmth of your hand
I'll do anything to keep you satisfied
I'll 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 fears if 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
A whisper of the joy that is mine
And leaves will bow down when you walk by
And morning bells will chime
I'll walk in the rain by your side
I'll cling to the warmth of your tiny hand
I'll do anything to help you understand
And i'll 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
9.Goodbye Again
it's five o'clock this morning, and the sun is on the rise
There's frosting on the window pane, and sorrow in your eyes
The stars are fading quietly, the 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 leavin' 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, the days are soft and warm
I long to lay me down again, to hold you in my arms
I long to kiss the tears away, give you back the smile
Other voices beckon me, to go a little while
And it's goodbye again, i'm sorry to be leavin' 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
Have to go and see some friends of mine, some that i don't know
Some who aren't familiar with my name,
It's something that's inside of me not hard to understand
It's anyone who listens to me sing
And if your hours are empty now, who am i to blame
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, the greatest peace i've ever known
But it's goodbye again, i'm sorry to be leavin' 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.How Can I Leave You Again
di di di di di la la la la la la
In a spaceship over the mountains
Chasing rainbows in the setting sun
Leaving heart and home for the city of angels
I feel my life is undone
There are pathways winding below me
In pleasure i've gone where they go
In the quiet stillness i can hear symphonies
The loveliest music i know
How can i leave you again
I must be clear out of my mind
Lost in a storm i've gone blind
Oh, how can i leave you again
Oh, it's been a long time since i've listened
Still longer since i've walked with you
For the first time i know what i'm missing
Some answers are no longer true
So i question the course that i follow
I'm doubtful and deep in despair
My heart is full of impossible notions
Can it be you no longer care？
Still, i ride on the wings of a high wind
Blowing steady and strong behind me
As the clouds surrender my fate is for certain
I'm a sailor who runs to the sea
How can i leave you again
I must be clear out of my mind
Lost in a storm i've gone blind
Oh, how can i leave you again

Words：john denver
Music：john denver
This song appears on three albums, and was first released on the
take me to tomorrow album, and has also been released on the
reflections and the country roads collection album.
Isabel is waiting
In a room of many shadows
Her eyes like flashing diamonds
Shining brightly from the sea
Her hair in silken tresses
Like a robe around her shoulders
Hiding tantalising treasures
That the sun has never seen
Isabel is watching
Like a princess from the mountains
For the first soft snows of winter
And the icy winds they bring
With a whisper of her sadness
In the passing of the summer
Her crown is wild red roses
With a lace of forest green
And she wraps her arms around me and she sighs
And she sing to me in silence with her eyes
And her hair upon my pillow comforts me
Isabel is weeping
And her eyes are full of wonder
She knows that it's the time for her
And she cannot understand
She's a mistress of the moonlight
To the stars she is a sister
And the morning now awaits her
To betray her once again
And she whispers as she sadly slips away
Then she smiles because there's nothing left to say
And she takes with her the sadness and the sun

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

When i was a young man
I ran away trom home
I went to join the circus
Went to see the cotton candy whirl
And make me lots ot money on my own
For molly, oh my pretty molly
But she's waiting all alone
Someday soon i will return to her
Then i made the big time
Bright 11ghts show biz
I'm really in the circus
There's only one thing wrong
I haven't saved a peony on my own
For molly, oh my pretty molly
But she's writing everyday
Molly understands so it's okay
Ride a windy box car
See a thousand children young and old
Oh that grease paint smile
Can hide your soul
Here comes a carrousel
Guess which town it is
Feel the thnil
Grease paint covers everything
But winters chill
I'm reading molly's letter
The ink is fading
And the page is fuming yellow
Long ago i promised molly
Don't you know i
I will close my eyes and go to her

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 you've never seen before
Lady, my sweet lady, i just can't believe it's true
And it's like i've never ever loved before
Close your eyes and rest your weary mind

Words：johnny burke

A country dance was being held in a garden
I felt a bump and heard an oh, beg your pardon§
Suddenly i saw polka dots and moonbeams
All around a pug-nosed dream
The music started and was i the perplexed one
I held my breath and said may i have the next one§
In my frightrnrd arms, polka dots and moonbeams
Sparkled on a pug-nosed dream
There were questions in the eyes of other dancers
As we floated over the floor
There were questions but my heart knew all the answers
And perhaps a few things more
Now in a cottage made of lilacs and laughter
I know the meaning of the words ever after§
And i'll always see polka dots and moonbeams
When i kiss my pug-nosed dream

So you speak to me of sadness
And the coming of the winter
Fear that is within you now
It seems to never end
And the dreams that have escaped you
And the hope that you've forgotten
You tell me that you need me now
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
Could clear a cloudy day
Like the music of the mountains
And the colours 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
Could 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

Words：john denver
Music：john denver
This song appears on four albums, and was first released on the

classics, reflections and the country roads collection albums.
You know sometimes i can't get to sleep at night
I can't quiet my heart or my mind
I toss and turn, i ache and burn
I get caught in the passing of time
It's 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
What's on your mind
What's on my mind
Is really quite the same
I've been working so hard
And i'm ready to play
I know just the right game
What's on your mind
Is what's on my mind
That's the way it's gonna be
I'm gonna find me a place i can hide
I want you right next to me
On i've never seen a more beautiful day
It's my favorite time of year
The colors are changing, she's rearranging
And i'm so glad to be here
I've been up and around, i've been lost, i've been found
I've 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
What's on your mind
Is what's on my mind
It's just that way
It's like catching a ride
On a beautiful river
Let it carry us all away
What's on your mind
And what's 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
What's on your mind
And what's on my mind
Is really quite the same
I've been working so hard
And i'm ready to play
Baby, i know just the right game
What's on your mind
And what's 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

Words：john denver
Music：john denver
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 someone's eyes
A dream that's like a promise meant to be
Giving rise to speculation
On a place called paradise
If i've ever been there
It's when you were with me
You're so beautiful
I can't believe your eyes
Each time i see you again
You're so beautiful
That i'm 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 love's eyes
Shining in the night
You're so beautiful
I can't believe your eyes
Each time i see you again
You're so beautiful
That i'm 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
You're so beautiful
I can't believe your eyes
Each time i see you again
You're so beautiful
That i'm 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
