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've tried 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 places where i've been
To have you there beside me and never be alone
And all the time that you're with me
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
Take my hand and i will follow you
2.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

All my bags are packed
I'm ready to go
I'm standin' here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
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
Oh, 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
But, i'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when i'll be back again
Oh babe, i hate to go

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

He was born in the summer of his 27th year
Comin' home to a place he'd never been before
He left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born again
You 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 hangin' by a song
But the string's already broken and he doesn't really care
It keeps changin' fast and it don't last for long
But the colorado rocky mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lullabye
Rocky mountain high (high colorado) rocky mountain high (high
colorado)
He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds below
He saw everything as far as you can see
And they say he got crazy once, and he tried to touch the sun
And he lost a friend but kept his memory
Now he walks in quiet solitude the forests and the streams
Seeking grace in every step he takes
His sight has 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 rainin' fire in the sky
You can talk to god and listen to the casual reply
Rocky mountain high (high colorado) rocky mountain high (high
colorado)
Now his life is full of wonder but his heart still knows some
fear
Of a simple thing he cannot comprehend
Why they try to tear the mountains down to bring in a couple
more
More people, more scars upon the land
And the colorado rocky mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
I know he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle fly
Rocky mountain high
It's a colorado rocky mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
Friends around the campfire and everybody's high
Rocky mountain high (high colorado) rocky mountain high (high
colorado)
Rocky mountain high (high colorado) rocky mountain high do de do

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
A sweet rocky mountain paradise
Oh, my sweet rocky mountain paradise
Springtime is rollin' ＆round slowly
Grey skies are bringin' me down
I can't remember when i've ever been so lonely
I forgot what it's like to be home
Can't remember what it's like to be home
But i think on my lady's 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
Oh, 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
But 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
A sweet rocky mountain paradise
Oh, my sweet rocky mountain paradise

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
Country roads, take me home
To the place 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
Teardrops in my eye
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
The radio reminds me of my home far away
And drivin' down the road i get a feelin'
That i should have been home yesterday, yesterday
Country roads, take me home
To the place i belong
West virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
Country roads, take me home
To the place i belong
West virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
Take me home, now country roads
Take me home, now country roads
