1. _ I Want To Live
there are children raised in sorrow
On a scorched and barren plain
There are children raised beneath a golden sun
There are children of the water
Children of the sand
And they cry out through the universe
Their voices raised as one
I want to live i want to grow
I want to see i want to know
I want to share what i can give
I want to be i want to live
Have you gazed out on the ocean
Seen the breaching of a whale?
Have you watched the dolphins frolic in the foam?
Have you heard the song the humpback hears five hundred miles away
Telling tales of ancient history of passages and home?
I want to live i want to grow
I want to see i want to know
I want to share what i can give
I want to be i want to live
For the worker and the warrior the lover and the liar
For the native and the wanderer in kind
For the maker and the user and the mother and her son
I am looking for my family and all of you are mine
We are standing all together
Face to face and arm in arm
We are standing on the threshold of a dream
No more hunger no more killing
No more wasting life away
It is simply an idea
And i know its time has come
I want to live i want to grow
I want to see i want to know
I want to share what i can give
I want to be i want to live

2. _ The Gold And Beyond
This song was first released on the greatest hits vol 3 album. it is the only album this song appears on.
On a snow crystal morning
Some place close to heaven
On the side of a mountain
In a race for the sun
In a matter of moments
The dream of a lifetime is won
There's a fire in the heart
And it feels like the hunger
The spirit is burning
Consumed by the flame
To be one of the best
Of the best in the world
Is its name
To be faster and farther
Than anyone's ever before
To be braver and stronger
And truer and then even more
To be all that you can be
And all that you've ever longed for
In the eyes of a mountain
All people are equal
In the eyes of all people
Our souls can be seen
In the course of our struggle
We'll know what humanity means
To be all that you can be
And all that you've ever longed for
We gather together
To face one another
We gather in silence
And sing in the sun
We gather in peace
To go for the gold and beyond
Words by john denver, music by john denver and lee holdridge

3. _ Love Again
This song appears on eight albums, and was first released on the one world album, and has also been released on the greatest hits vol 3, john denver (italian) country classics, the country roads
Ection and the rocky mountain collection albums in a duet with sylvie vartan. john sings it again by himslef on the love again and a celebration of life albums.
I didn't think it could happen again
I'm 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 give up on romance
In my longing to give up the pain
I just didn't believe i would ever love again
I was like one who had shut myself in
Closed the windows, locked all the doors
Afraid of the dark and the beat of my heart
Yet knowing there had to be more
Though it sounds like a great contradiction
It's 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
That there's more there 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 i'm dreaming
Or maybe i'm going insane
Or maybe it's just that i'm falling in love again
Here i am standing beside you
Oh life's such a wonderful game
Look at me now, i'm falling in love
Look at me now, i'm falling in love
Look at me now, i'm falling in love again

4. _ How Can I Leave You Again
di di di di di la la la la la la
In a spaceship over the mountains
Chasing rainbows in the setting sun
Leaving heart and home for the city of angels
I feel my life is undone
There are pathways winding below me
In pleasure i've gone where they go
In the quiet stillness i can hear symphonies
The loveliest music i know
How can i leave you again
I must be clear out of my mind
Lost in a storm i've gone blind
Oh, how can i leave you again
Oh, it's been a long time since i've listened
Still longer since i've walked with you
For the first time i know what i'm missing
Some answers are no longer true
So i question the course that i follow
I'm doubtful and deep in despair
My heart is full of impossible notions
Can it be you no longer care?
Still, i ride on the wings of a high wind
Blowing steady and strong behind me
As the clouds surrender my fate is for certain
I'm a sailor who runs to the sea
How can i leave you again
I must be clear out of my mind
Lost in a storm i've gone blind
Oh, how can i leave you again

5. _ Perhaps Love
perhaps love is like a resting place
A shelter from the storm
It exists to give you comfort
It is there to keep you warm
And in those times of trouble
When you are most alone
The memory of love will bring you home
Perhaps love is like a window
Perhaps an open door
It invites you to come closer ( you wrote close)
It wants to show you more
And even if you lose yourself
And don`t know what to do
The memory of love will see you through
Oh, love to some is like a cloud
To some as strong as steel
For some a way of living
For some a way to feel
And some say love is holding on
And some say letting go
And some say love is everything
And some say they don`t know
Perhaps love is like the ocean
Full of conflict, full of pain (you wrote - change)
Like a fire when it`s cold outside
Or thunder when it rains
If i should live forever
And all my dreams come true
My memories of love will be of you

(double cd), country classics, the country roads collection and the rocky mountain collection albums. a live version also appears on the wildlife concert album.
It's funny how you sound as though you're right next door
When you're really half a world away
I just can't seem to find the words i'm looking for
To say the things that i want to say
I can't remember when i felt so close to you
It's almost more than i can bear
And though i seem half a million miles from you
You are in my heart and living there
And the moon and the stars are the same ones you see
It's the same old sun up in the sky
And your voice in my ear is like heaven to me
Like the breezes here in old shanghai
There are lovers who walk hand in hand in the park
And lovers who walk all alone
There are lovers who lie unafraid in the dark
And lovers who long for home
Oh, i couldn't leave you even if i wanted to
You're in my dreams and always near
And especially when i sing the songs i wrote for you
You are in my heart and living there
And the moon and the stars are the same ones you see
It's the same old sun up in the sky
And your face in my dreams is like heaven to me
Like the breezes here in old shanghai
Shanghai breezes cool and clearing evening's sweet caress
Shanghai breezes soft and gentle remind me of your tenderness
And the moon and the stars are the same ones you see
It's the same old sun up in the sky
And your love in my life is like heaven to me
Like the breezes here in old shanghai
And the moon and the stars are the same ones you see
It's the same old sun up in the sky
And your love in my life is like heaven to me
Like the breezes here in old shanghai
Just like the breezes here in old shanghai

7. _ Autograph
This song appears on six albums, and was first released on the autograph album, and has also been released on the greatest hits vol 3, the rocky mountain collection, the country roads collection
Lections and country classics albums.
Here i am closing my eyes again
Trying so hard not to see
All the things that i see
Almost willing to lie again
I swear that it just isn't so
It just isn't me
We are never alone
Even though we'd like to be
The i go and open my eyes again
Love in your eyes is the thing
That i'd most like to see
I'd be willing to die again
To know of a place and a time
Where it always could be
To be always with you
And you always with me
This is my autograph
Here is the songs i sing
Here is my cry and my laugh
Here is the love that i bring
To be always with you
And you always with me
Say a prayer and open your heart again
You are the love and the life
That we all need to see
Always willing to shine and then
Peace on this earth is the way
That it always can be
To be always with you
And you always with me
This is my autograph
Here is the songs i sing
Here is my cry and my laugh
Here is the love that i bring
To be always with you
And you always with me

(double cd), country classics, the country roads collection and the rocky mountain collection albums. a new studio version has been released on the love again album.
Of course we have our differences
You shouldn't be surprised
It's as natural as changes
In the seasons and the skies
Sometimes we grow together
Sometimes we drift apart
A wiser man than i might know
The seasons of the heart
And i'm walking here beside you
In the early evening chill
A thing we've always loved to do
I know we always will
We have so much in common
So many things we share
That i can't believe my heart
When it implies that you're not there
Love is why i came here in the first place
Love is now the reason i must go
Love is all i ever hoped to find here
Love is still the only dream i know
So i don't know how to tell you
It's difficult to say
I never in my wildest dreams
Imagined it this way
But sometimes i just don't know you
There's a stranger in our home
When i'm lying right beside you
Is when i'm most alone
And i think my heart is broken
There's an emptiness inside
So many things i've longed for
Have so often been denied
Still i wouldn't try to change you
There's no one that's to blame
It's just some things that mean so much
And we just don't feel the same
Love is why i came here in the first place
Love is now the reason i must go
Love is all i ever hoped to find here
Love is still the only dream i know
True love is still the only dream i know

9. _ Dancing With The Mountains
This song appears on four albums, and was first released on the autograph album, and has also been released on the greatest hits vol 3, john denver (italian) and country classics albums.
Everybody's got the dancin' fever
Everbody'd love to rock and roll
Play it loud and baby play it better
Funky music gotta stretch your soul
Just relax and let the rhythm take you
Don't you be afraid to lose control
If your heart has found some empty spaces
Dancin's just a thing to make you whole
I am one who dances with the mountains
I am one who dances with the wind
I am one who dances on the ocean
My partner's more than pieces more than friends
Were you there the night they lost the lightning
Were you there the day the earth stood still
Did you see the famous and the fighting
Did you hear the prophet tell his tale
We are one when dancing with the mountains
We are one when singing in the wind
We are one when thinking of each other
More than partners much more than pieces more than friends

10. _ Wild Montana Skies
This song appears on nine albums, and was first released on the it's about time album, and has also been released on the greatest hits vol 3, changes, the very best of john denver (double cd),
Ry classics, the country roads collection and the rocky mountain collection albums. a live version also appears on the wildlife concert and the best of john denver live albums.
He was born in the bitterroot valley in the early morning rain
Wild geese over the water headin' north and home again
Bringin' a warm wind from the south
Bringin' the first taste of the spring
His mother took him to her breast and softly she did sing
Oh montana, give this child a home
Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own
Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes
Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild montana skies
His mother died that summer and he never learned to cry
He never knew his father and he never did ask why
He never knew the answers that would make an easy way
But he learned to know the wilderness and to be a man that way
His mother's brother took him in to family and his home
Gave him a hand that he could lean on and a strength to call his own
And he learned to be a farmer and he learned to love the land
And he learned to read the seasons and he learned to make a stand
Oh montana, give this child a home
Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own
Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes
Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild montana skies
On the eve of his 21st birthday he set out on his own
He was 30 years and runnin' when he found his way back home
Ridin' a storm across the mountains and an aching in his heart
Said he came to turn the pages and to make a brand new start
Now he never told a story of the time that he was gone
Some say he was a lawyer, some say he was a john
There was somethin' in the city that he said he couldn't breathe
And there was somethin' in the country that he said he couldn't leave
Oh montana, give this child a home
Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own
Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes
Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild montana skies
Now some say he was crazy and they're glad that he is gone
But some of us miss him and we'll try to carry on
Giving a voice to the forest, giving a voice to the dawn
Giving a voice to the wilderness and the land that he lived on
Oh montana, give this child a home
Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own
Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes
Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild montana skies
Oh montana, give this child a home
Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own
Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes
Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild montana skies

11. _ Some Days Are Diamonds (some Days Are Stone)

Ollection, the country roads collection, the very best of john denver (double cd) and changes albums.
When you ask how i've been here without you
I like to say i've been fine and i do
But we both know the truth is hard to come by
And if i told the truth, that's not quite true
Some days are diamonds, some days are stone
Some time the hard times won't leave you alone
Some times the cold winds blow a chill in my bones
Some days are diamonds, some days are stone
Now the face that i see in my mirror
More and more is a stranger to me
More and more i can see there's a danger
In becoming what i never thought i'd be
Some days are diamonds, some days are stone
Some time the hard times won't leave you alone
Some times the cold winds blow a chill in my bones
Some days are diamonds, some days are stone
