Poems, Prayers And Promises lyrics by John Denver
I've been lately thinkingabout my life's time,
all the things I've done
and 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,
spent a time or
two in my own home
I have to say it now that,
it's been 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 pass the pipe around
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?
The days they pass
so quickly now,
nights are seldom long
the 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
For though 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
I have to say it now,
it's been 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 pass the pipe around
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
what about our dreams and
all the memories we share?
