Poems, Prayers and Promises - 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
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
it's been a good life all in all
It's really fine to have
a chance to hang around
Lie there by the fire and
watch the evening tire
While all my 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 and
what about our dreams
And all the memories we share

Days they pass so quickly now
the nights are seldom long
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
Although 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
a good life all in all
It's really fine to have a chance
to hang around
Lie there by the fire and
watch the evening tire
While all my 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 and
what about our dreams
And all the memories we share
