Poems, Prayers And Promises Lyrics - 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 

And I've known my lady's pleasures 

Had myself some friends 

And spent a time or two in my own home

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

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 evenin' tire 

Along with friends and my old lady 

Sit and pass a 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 

Photos 

The days they pass so quickly now 

The nights are seldom long 

And 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 growin' old 

For though the 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 

And 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 evenin' tire 

Along with friends and my old lady 

Sit and pass a 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
