Poems, Prayers & Promises Lyrics - The Essential John Denver - John Denver

I? ve been lately thinking about my life? s time 

All the things I? ve done, 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 

And spent a night or two in my own home 

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 evening tire 

While all my friends and my old lady sit and pass the pipe around

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

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 and what about tomorrow? 

What about our dreams and all the memories we share? 

The days they pass so quickly now, nights are seldom long 

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 growing old 

For though my life? s been good to me there? s still so much to do 

So many things my mind's never known 

I? d like to raise a family, I? d like to sail away 

And dance across the mountains on the moon, yes I would 

I have to say it now, it? s been a good life, all in all 

It? s really fine to have the 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 watch the sun go down
