"Music makes pictures and often tells stories. All of it magic and all of it true. And all of the pictures and all of the stories, all of the magic the music is you." JD "Living in the love of the common people, A smile in the heart of a family man, Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to, Mommie's gonna love you just as much as she can, And she can." JD "My friends, I will remember you, Think of you, pray for you, And when another day is thru, I'll still be friends with you." JD "I was born in a cabin on little Mulchatna, Raised in hard times, but I had a good life, From the first time I flew with my father a singin' I knew that I'd wind up a bush pilot's wife." JD "Is it not the sun that give the seasons? Is it not the sun that brings the rain, Our throats are choked with dust, but we're still singing, Our song will not be silenced by the pain." JD An old man and an eight year old boy rolling down that midnight highway, Kentucky memories from a winter Georgia night, I started drifting off to sleep and Grandpa tucked his coat around me, I think I tried to smile as I slowly closed my eyes." JD "My ears are still ringing, There's nothing to say, Why look to the o- cean, To wash me away? There goes my best friend, There goes my last dime, If love is the an- swer, I'm wast- ing my time." JD "I'd build you a world made of the dream, That dances in your head, Take a rainbow with colors bright, To hang over your bead." JD "Snow is on the mountains where I always hate to leave."JD "And most men are ruthless, But some will still weep When the gifts we were given are gone."JD "Words just whistle 'round my head Like seasons in the wind."JD "Have we forgotten All the lives that were given All the vows that were taken Saying never again Now for the first time This could be the last time If PEACE is our vision Let us begin, let us begin."JD "Dream full of promises, Hopes for the future I've had many."JD "One Sunday morning as I was walking By Brisbane water I chanced to stray I heard a convict his fate bewailing As on the sunny river bank he lay."JD "There's still time to turn around And make all hatred cease And give another name to living And we could call it PEACE."JD "Now in a cottage made of lilacs and laughter I know the meaning of the words "ever after" And i'll always see polka dots and moonbeams When I kiss my pug-nosed dream, When I kiss my pug-nosed dream."JD "For You, LIZ!!" |
In The Middle of Nowhere -- the song Verse 1: I'm sitting by the side of the road smack in the middle of nowhere, I don't know where I'm going, but I guess I will when I get there, I'm sitting in the middle of nowhere by the side of the road, I've got nothing to show for it, but this really heavy load, I see things that I have not noticed before, It tends to make a person stop and think, "Were they there all the time and I just missed them, Or did they just magically appear?" (Chorus): You've got to DANCE, like nobody is watching you, You've got to SING, out as no one can hear you, You've got to get all fired up,-- roast another marshmallow, SOAR, as though you've never flown before. Verse 2: My life has been no worse or better than others, Yet at tmes I know it truly does seem so, Sometimes things are great, Sometimes they are not, Yet, I am still here at any rate, No matter what I say or do, John Denver's credos do ring true, (Chorus): You've got to DANCE, like nobody is watching you, You've got SING, out as though no one can hear you, You've got to GET all fired up, -- roast another mashmallow SOAR, as though you've never flown before. Verse 3: And as the holidays do draw ever near, I wish all was like this throughout the year, People seem to forget what these holidays stand for, --Just as soon as it reaches December 26th; no more, Even some children they just cry, Presents, presnet, "I want more!" What ever happened to "tis better to give than to receive?", I am not sure 'tis what people really believe, It is not the gifts that you receive, But, rather 'tis the gifts you already have, 'Tis what I believe should truly ever be, (Chorus): You've got to DANCE, like nobody is watching you, You've got to SING, out as though no one can hear you, You've to GET all fired up, -- roast another marshmallow, SOAR, as though you've never flown before. Verse 4: Count your blessing each and every single one, Give thanks to the LORD, for when all is said and done, He is the one that we must answer to, Give thanks for your friends, your family, your loves, Tell them you love them each time you speak to them, REPETITION of useless words is MEANINGLESS, REPETITION of affectionate words is NECESSARY, (Chorus): You've got to DANCE, like nobody is watching you, You've got to SING, out as though no one can hear you, You've got GET all fired up,-- roast another marshmallow, SOAR, as though you;ve never flown before. Verse 5: I will remember you, my family and friends, Up until my ending dying days, Another year has come and gone, To this we can drink a toast, May next year be for you absolutely great, --No matter what comes your way, --May you truly make the most (Chorus): You've got to DANCE, like nobody is watching you, You've got to SING, out as though no one can hear you, You've got to GET all fired up, -- roast another marshmallow, SOAR, as though you've never flown before, You've got to DANCE, like nobody is watching you, You've got SING, out as though no one can hear you, You've got to GET all fired up, -- roast another marshmallow, SOAR, as though you've never flown before. You've got to D A N C E like no- body is watch- ing YOU. Peace, Sherianna | |||||||||||||||||||

The Sadness of Missing John Denver By Sherianna There is a sadness that only a certain few understand, --A deep-seated ache that is always there, Somedays the ache is small and dull, While on other days, it is so sharp and painful, You could fall thru the Earth, Today is one of the bad days, A truly heart wrenching sad day, I cannot tunr away or fight it, I do not know how to right it, --To make it a glad day, A truly happy day, Instead of a desolete sad day, There are times I wish I knew just what to do, I truly wish I had just one solid clue, Something to say all is okay, For that would really make my day, I have had several days like this, Days that I thought would never end, When I did not think I could find a friend, And then I came here, To my suprise I found someone very near, To my surprise they knew what I wanted to hear, I haven't all the answers; yet I wish I did, I know that John Had many, His gifts to us he did give, Yes, these imparts of his wisdom are enough, Yet, still somedays things are quite rough, The tears they have subsided, Yet, I know they are just hiding, And someday soon the dam will overflow, Again, reminding me once again-- That John was lost to us at such any early age, When his life was in such an early stage, And I have all I can do not to cry out in rage!
