Annies Song
You fill up my senses
Like a night in the forest
Like a mountain 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
You fill up my senses
Like a night in the forest
Like a mountain 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
Today
Written by The New Christy Ministrels
Today while the roses still cling to the vine
Ill taste your strawberries Ill drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrow will all pass away
Ere I forget all the joy that is mine today
Ill be a dandy and Ill be a rover
Youll know who I am by the songs that I sing
Ill feast at your table Ill sleep in your clover
Who cares what the morrow shall bring
Today while the roses still cling to the vine
Ill taste your strawberries Ill drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrow will all pass away
Ere I forget all the joy that is mine today
I cant be contented on yesterdays glory
I cant live on promises winter to spring
Today is my moment and now is my story
Ill laugh and Ill cry and Ill sing
Today while the roses still cling to the vine
Ill taste your strawberries Ill drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrow will all pass away
Ere I forget all the joy that is mine today
Sunshine on My Shoulders
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 a day just like today
If I had a song that I could sing to you
Id 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
Id tell a tale sure to make you smile
And if I had a wish that I could wish for you
Id make a wish for sunshine 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 always makes me high
Poems, Prayers And Promises
I've been lately thinking about my lifes time
All the things I've done and how its been
And I cant help believin 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
Spent a time or two in my own home
I have to say it loud its been a good life all in all
Its really find to have the 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 the pipe around
And talk of poems 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 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 its cold
The changes somehow frighten me but still I have to smile
It turns me on think of growing old
For though the 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 loud its been a good life all in all
Its really find to have the 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 the pipe around
And talk of poems 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 what about our dreams and all the memories we share
My Sweet Lady
Lady are you crying
Do the tears belong to me
Did you think our time together was all gone
Lady youve been dreaming
Im as close as I can be
And I swear to you our time has just begun
Close your eyes and rest your weary mind
I promise I will stay right here beside you
Today our lives were joined became entwined
I wish that you could know how much I love you
Lady are you happy
Do you feel the way I do
Are there feelings that youve never felt before
Lady my sweet lady
I just cant believe its true
And its like Ive never ever loved before
Close your eyes and rest your weary mind
I promise I will stay right here beside you
Today our lives were joined became entwined
I wish that you could know how much I love you
Lady are you crying
Do the tears belong to me
Did you think our time together was all gone
Lady youve been dreaming
Im as close as I can be
And I swear to you our time has just begun
Leavin On A Jet Plane
All my bags are packed Im ready to go
Im standing here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breakin and its early morn
The taxis waiting and hes blowin his horn
Already Im so lonesome I could cry
Chorus:
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that youll wait for me
Hold me like youll never let me go
Cause Im leavin on a jet plane
Dont know when Ill be back again
Oh babe I hate to go
Theres so many times Ive let you down
So many times Ive played around
I tell you now they dont mean a thing
Every place I go Ill think of you
Every song I sing Ill sing for you
When I come back Ill wear your wedding ring
(chorus)
Now the time has come to leave you
One more time let me kiss you
Then close your eyes Ill be on my way
Dream about the days to come
When I wont have to leave alone
About the times I wont have to say
(chorus)
For Bobbie (For Baby)
Ill walk in the rain by your side
Ill cling to the warmth of your hand
Ill do anything to keep you satisfied
Ill love you more than anybody can
And the wind will whisper your name to me
Little birds will sing along in time
And leaves will bow down when you walk by
And morning bells will chime
Ill be there when youre feeling down
To kiss away the tears that you cry
Ill share with you all the happiness Ive found
A reflection of the love thats in your eyes
And Ill sing you the song of the rainbow
Ill whisper of the joy that is mine
And leaves will bow down when you walk by
And morning bells will chime
Ill walk in the rain by your side
Ill cling to the warmth of your tiny hand
Ill do anything to keep you satisfied
Ill love you more than anybody can
And the wind will whisper your name to me
Little birds will sing along in time
And leaves will bow down when you walk by
And morning bells will chime
Whispering Jesse
I often have wondered in deep contemplation
It seems that the mind runs wild when youre all alone
The way that it could the ways that it should be
The things Id do differently if I could do them again
Ive always loved the springtime the passing of winter
The green of the new leaf and life going on
The promise of morning the long days of summer
And warm nights of loving her beneath the bright stars
Im just an old cowboy from high Colorado
Im too old to ride anymore too blind to see
I sleep in the city now away from my mountains
Away from the cabin we always called home
I dreamed I left there on an old palomino
Whispering Jesse rode right by my side
I long to hold her to hear her soft breathing
The touch of her cool hand on my fevered brow
Whispering Jesse still rides in the mountain
She still sings in the canyons
Still lives in my heart
Dreamland Express
I caught a ride on the dreamland express last night
I was sailing on an ocean of blue
And right there by my side much to my surprise was you
I said come over here baby let me look in your eyes
Let me see the very heart of you
And I couldnt believe it to conceive that my dream would come true
Cuz you said hey there sweet daddy everythings alright
For miles theres not a telephone line
Theres not a soul to disturb us dont be nervous just come and be mine
You said let me be the end of your rainbow
Let me be the stars up above
Let me be the one that you long for darlin
Let me be the one that you love woah ho
Let me be the one that you love
Now its four in the morning honey I cant sleep
I cant seem to get you out of my mind
I keep tossin and turnin yearnin for the sun to shine
Id like to send you a ticket on the dreamland express
And take you far away with me
Ive got a vision of heaven and your livin there with me
Honey let me be the end of your rainbow
Let me be the stars up above
Let me be the one that you long for darlin
Let me be the one that you love woah ho
Let me be the one that you love
Baby let me be the end of your rainbow
Let me be the stars up above
Let me be the one that you long for darlin
Let me be the one that you love woah ho
Let me be the one that you love woah ho
Let me be the one that you love
Rocky Mountain High
He was born in the summer of his 27th year
Comin home to a place hed never been before
Left yesterday behind him you might say he was born again
Might say hed found the key for every door
When he first came to the mountains his life was far away
On the road hangin by a song
But the strings already broken and he doesnt really care
Keeps changin fast and it dont last for long
The Colorado rocky mountain high
Ive seen rainin fire in the sky
The shadow from the sunlight is softer than a lullaby
Rocky mountain high
Rocky mountain high
He climbed cathedral mountain saw silver clouds below
Saw everything as far as you can see
And they say that he got crazy once 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
Ive seen rainin fire in the sky
You can talk to god and listen to the casual reply
Rocky mountain high
Rocky mountain high
Now his life is full of wonder but his heart still knows some fear
Of the 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
The Colorado rocky mountain high
Ive seen rainin fire in the sky
I know hed be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle fly
Rocky mountain high
Its a Colorado rocky mountain high
Ive seen it rainin fire in the sky
Friends around the campfire and everybodys high
Rocky mountain high
Rocky mountain high
Rocky mountain high
Rocky mountain high
Take Me Home Country Roads
Almost heaven West Virginia
Blue Ridge mountains Shenahdoah river
Life if old there older than the trees
Younger than the mountain growin like a breeze
Country roads take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia mountain momma
Take me home country roads
All my memories gather round her
Miners lady stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine teardrops in my eyes
Country roads take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia mountain momma
Take me home country roads
I hear her voice in the morning hours she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
Drivin down the road
I get a feeling that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
Country roads take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia mountain momma
Take me home country roads
Country roads take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia mountain momma
Take me home country roads
Take me home down country roads
Take me home down country roads
Love Again
I didnt think it could happen again Im just too old and set in my ways
I was convinced I would always be lonely all of the rest of my days
Maybe I gave up on romance in my longing to give up the pain
I just didnt believe I would ever love again
I was like one who had shut myself in closed the windows and locked all the doors
Afraid of the dark and being lonely yet knowing there had to be more
Though it sounds like a great contradiction its the easiest thing to explain
You see I was afraid I might never love again
What does it take for a blind man to see when theres more than just meets the eye
What are the ways that the magic comes in that can turn a song into a sigh
Sometimes I think that Im dreaming or maybe I going insane
Maybe it just that Im falling in love again
Here I am standing beside you oh lifes such a wonderful game
Look at me now Im falling in love
Look at me now Im falling in love
Look at me now Im falling in love again |
