Sunshine on my shoulders makes me
happy
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry
Sunshine on the water looks so
lovely
Sunshine almost always makes me high

If I had a day that I
could give you
I'd give to you the day just like today
If I had a song
that I could sing for you
I'd sing a song to make you feel this
way

Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes can
make me cry
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely
Sunshine almost always
makes me high

If I had a tale that I could tell you
I'd tell a tale
sure to make you smile
If I had a wish that I could wish for you
I'd make
a wish for sunshine for all the while

Sunshine on my shoulders makes me
happy
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry
Sunshine on the water looks so
lovely
Sunshine almost all the time makes me
high

John Denver - Rocky Mountain High Lyrics

He was born in the summer of his twentyseverth year

coming 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 to ev'ry door.

When he first came to the mountains his life was 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 lullaby.
Rocky mountain high in Colorado.
Rocky mountain high in Colorado.

He climbed cathedral mountains

he saw silver clouds below

he saw everything as far as you can see.
And they say
that 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.
Talk to God and listen to the casual reply.
Rocky mountain high in Colorado.
Rocky mountain high in 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

But time is still turning they soon will be dry
And all of those who see me, all who believe in me
Share in the freedom I feel when I fly

Come dance with the west wind and touch on the mountain tops
Sail o’er the canyons and up to the stars
And reach for the heavens and hope for the future
And all that we can be and not what we are

Almost heaven West Virgina blue rich mountain,tended to old river.
Live is older than, older than the creek, younger than the mountians,
brolling like the breeze.
Country roads take me home to the place I belong West Virginia
moutian mama, take me home Country roads.

All my memoires, I get around her, by this lady, stranged to blue water.
Darking dusk see, paint in all this sky, mister taste the Moonshine,teardrods

Country roads take me home to the place, I belong West Virginia
moutian mama, take me home Country roads.

I hear her voice in the morning are she calle´s me,radio the minds me on my

Aren't these lovely lyrics!

On the road of experience,
I'm trying to find my own way,
Sometimes I wish that I could fly away,
When I think I'm moving suddenly thing
stand still,
I'm afraid cause I think they always
will,

And I'm looking for space ,
And to find out who I am,
And I'm looking to know and
Understand,
It's a sweet,sweet dream
Sometimes I'm almost there,
Sometimes I fly like an eagle,
Sometimes I'm deep in despair,

All alone in the universe,
Sometimes that's how it seems,
I get lost in the sadness and
The screams,
Then I look in the center,
Suddenly everything's clear,
I find myself in the sunshine and my
dreams,

And I'm looking for space,
And to find out who I am,
And I'm looking to know and underdtand,
It's a sweet sweet dream,
Sometimes I'm almost there,
Sometimes I fly like an eagle,
Sometimes I'm deep in despair,

On the road of experience,
Join in the living day,
If there's an answer ,
It's just that it's just that way,

Whne your looking for space and to find
out who you are,
When your looking to try to reach the
stars,
It's a sweet, sweet dream,
Sometimes I'm almost there,
Sometimes I fly like an eagle,
Sometimes I'm deep in despair,
Sometimes I fly like an eagle,
I go flying high,

To be so in love with you and so alone

Follow me where I go what I do and who I know

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

John Denver - Rhymes & Reasons Lyrics

This song appears on eleven albums, and was first released on the rhymes and
reasons album, then this is john denver, the rocky mountain collection, the
country roads collection, and reflections
Has been rerecorded on the very best of john denver (double cd), john denver
(italian), country classics and greatest hits vol 1 albums. live versions also
appear on an evening with john denver
He wildlife concert albums.

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

You fill up my senses
Like a night in the forest
Like the mountains in springtime
Like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses
Come fill me again

Come let me love you
Let me give my life to you
Let me drown in your laughter
Let me die in your arms
Let me lay down beside you
Let me always be with you
Come let me love you
Come love me again

Let me give my life to you
Come let me love you
Come love me again

You fill up my senses
Like a night in the forest
Like the mountains in springtime
Like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses
Come fill me again

Ive been lately thinking
About my lifes time
All the things Ive done
And how its been
And I cant help believing
In my own mind
I know Im gonna hate to see it end

Ive seen a lot of sunshine
Slept out in the rain
Spent a night or two all on my own
Ive known my ladys pleasures
Had myself some friends
And spent a time or two in my own home

And I have to say it now
Its been a good life all in all
Its 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 its been since yesterday
And what about tomorrow
And ehat about our dreams
And all the memories we share

The days they pass so quickly now
Nights are seldom long
And time around me whispers when its cold
The changes somehow frighten me
Still I have to smile
It turns me on to think of growing old
For though my lifes been good to me
Theres still so much to do
So many things my mind has never known
Id like to raise a family
Id like to sail away
And dance across the mountains on the moon

I have to say it now
Its been a good life all in all
Its 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 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 its been since yesterday
What about tomorrow
What about our dreams
And all the memories we share

Boy from the Country

Because he called the forest brother
Because he called the earth his mother
They drove him out into the rain
Some people even said the boy from the country was insane

Because he spoke with fish in the creek
He tried to tell us that the animals could speak
Who knows, perhaps they do
How do you know they dont
Just because theyve never spoken to you

Boy from the country, he left his home when he was young
Boy from the country, he loves the sun

He tried to tell us that we should love the land
We turned our heads and laughed
And we did not understand
Sometimes I think that the boy from the country
Is the only one who sees
Because the boy from the country
Doesnt want to see the forest for the trees

Boy from the country, he left his home when he was young
Boy from the country, he loves the sun

There's that thread about the 5th degree showing sex-appeal... he's got Mars conjunct Uranus at 5 degrees Gemini in the 12th.

Jupiter in Leo in the 3rd. NN conjunct Pluto in Leo in the 2nd.

Can't think of the name of this song. I've always played it over and over.
Am at work and can only put down part of the lyrics...

I am an Eagle I live in high places
In rocky cathedrals that reach to
the sky....

Farewell Andromeda (Welcome to My Morning)

Welcome to my morning
Welcome to my day
Im the one responsible
I made it just this way
To make myself some pictures
See what they might bring
I think I made it perfectly
I wouldnt change a thing

Welcome to my happiness
You know it makes me smile
And it pleases me to have you here
For just a little while
While we open up the spaces
Try to break some chains
And if the truth is told
They will never come again

Welcome to my evening
The closing of the day
I could try a million times
Never find a better way
To tell you that I love you
And all the songs I play
Are to thank you for allowing me
Inside this lovely day

Welcome to my morning
Welcome to my day
Yes, Im the one responsible
I made it just this way
To make myself some pictures
And see what they might bring
I think I made it perfectly
I wouldnt change a thing

Years ago when she was younger she had moved to Los Angeles to pursue a singing career. She was working in a restaurant.

One day she got a call at the restaurant and the voice on the phone said he wanted to make dinner reservations and gave his name as John Denver. She's like " The singer? Yeah right, sure you are " because this restaurant did not have celebrities as it's normal clientele. He laughed and swore to her he was John Denver the singer and said " if you make the reservations I will be there I promise. Then he asked her name." Sure enough he showed and he walked up to the desk with a smile and asked, " Are you Dani?" She was dumbfounded. He laughed and said, " See I told you I was John Denver." She said she could hardly speak and blurted out something dumb like what a big fan of his she was.

I'm glad you posted that video of The Eagle and The Hawk, Mirandee (though I didn't really buy the guy singing along). I wish that song was two or three times as long. That song gets me pumped.

Here's a video that plays two versions of it back to back: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbCqTFOxIIE

Grandma's Feather Bed

When I was a little bitty boy
Just up off-a floor
We used to go down to Grandma's house
Every month end or so
We had chicken pie and country ham
And homemade butter on the bread
But the best darn thing about Grandma's house
Was her great big feather bed

It was nine feet high and six feet wide
Soft as a downy chick
It was made from the feathers of forty 'leven geese
Took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick
It'd hold eight kids, four hound dogs
And a piggy we stole from the shed
We didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun
On Grandma's feather bed

After the supper we'd sit around the fire
The old folks'd spit and chew
Pa would talk about the farm and the war
And Granny'd sing a ballad or two
I'd sit and listen and watch the fire
Till the cobwebs filled my head
Next thing I knew Id wake up in the morning
In the middle of the old feather bed

It was nine feet high and six feet wide
Soft as a downy chick
It was made from the feathers of forty'leven geese
Took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick
It'd hold eight kids, four hound dogs
And a piggy we stole from the shed
We didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun
On Grandma's feather bed

Well I love my Ma, an' I love my Pa
Love Granny and Grandpa too
Been fishing with my uncle, I wrestled with my cousin
I even kissed Aunt Lou oooh
But if ever had to make a choice
I guess it ought to be said
That I'd trade them all plus the gal down the road
For Grandma's feather bed
