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

And I've known my lady's pleasures

Had myself some friends

And 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

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

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
