Poems, Prayers and Promises (Live at the Universal Amphitheatre, Los Angeles, CA - August/September 1974) - 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 believing 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 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 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

For though 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 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 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
