The Choosen Ones

I heard how all the lights went out in memphis
On the death night anniversary of the king
The pretenders talking dirty in the palace
But it doesn't have that old familiar ring
I see there's been some changes in the valley
All the renegades have finally settled down
Now they worship in the temples of their rivals
And desecrate the holy heart of town
Can't you hear all those sweet voices singing
Takin' care of the chosen ones
Can't you hear all those mission bells ringin'
Say a prayer for the chosen ones
I read they're pourin' oil on troubled waters
Yet they cast a giant shadow on the land
Let's spend another night across the border
And bury all our secrets in the sand
Now they claim there is a message in the bible
They swear there is no master and his slave
But the future's lookin' dim for the lonesome cowboy
When the hand that rocks that cradle digs the grave

Welcome To My Morning

Welcome to my morning (farewell andromeda)
(john denver)
Welcome to my morning
Welcome to my day
Im the one responsible
I made it just this way
To make myself some pictures
See what they might bring
I think I made it perfectly
I wouldnt change a thing
Welcome to my happiness
You know it makes me smile
And it pleases me to have you here
For just a little while
While we open up the spaces
Try to break some chains
And if the truth is told
They will never come again
Welcome to my evening
The closing of the day

Polka Dots & Moonbeams

This song appears on three albums, and was first released on the spirit album, and has also been released on the reflections and the country roads collection albums.
A country dance was being held in a garden
I felt a bump and heard an oh, beg your pardon
Suddenly I saw polka dots and moonbeams
All around a pug-nosed dream
The music started and was I the perplexed one
I held my breath and said may I have the next one
In my frightrnrd arms, polka dots and moonbeams
Sparkled on a pug-nosed dream
There were questions in the eyes of other dancers
As we floated over the floor
There were questions but my heart knew all the answers
And perhaps a few things more
Now in a cottage made of lilacs and laughter
I know the meaning of the words ever after
And Ill always see polka dots and moonbeams
When I kiss my pug-nosed dream
Words by johnny burke, music by jimmy van heusen

Sunshine On My Shoulder

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 for you
i'd 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
i'd tell a tale sure to make you smile
if i had a wish that i could wish for you
i'd 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

Islands

This song appears on four albums, and was first released on the seasons of the heart album, and has also been released on the earth songs, the john denver collection - sunshine on my shoulder an
Very best of john denver (single cd) albums.
Islands call out to me
Like the highlands that I always see
In my dreams of home
I am never alone when I am there
Islands like so many dreams
Are like canyons but off the main stream
And theres no one there
The dreamer is always alone
And the mighty blue ocean
Keeps rolling on every shore
Like the spirit that binds us together
We are so much more than islands
Islands belong to the sea
Like the dark sands of my memory
When the morning comes
They are stepping stones to the sun
And the mighty blue ocean
Keeps rolling on every shore

For Baby (For Bobbie)

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
Leaves will bow down when you walk by
And morning bells will chime
Ill be there when youre feelin down
To kiss away the fears if you cry
Ill share with you all the happiness Ive found
A reflection of the love in your eyes
And Ill sing you the songs of the rainbow
A 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 help you understand
And Ill love you more than anybody can

People Get Ready

This song was first released on the all aboard! album. it is the only album it has been released on.
People get ready, theres a train a coming
You dont need no baggage, you just get on board
All you need is faith to hear those diesels humming
You dont need no ticket, you just thank the lord
People get ready, for the train to jordan
Picking up passengers from coast-to-coast
Faith is key, open up the doors and board them
Theres hope for all among the loved the most
But there aint no room for the hopeless sinner
Who would hurt all mankind to save his own
Mave pity on those whose choices grow thinner
Theres no hiding place from the kingdoms throne
People get ready, theres a train a coming
You dont need no baggage, you just get on board
All you need is faith to hear those diesels humming
You dont need no ticket, you just thank the lord
Thank the lord

Anthem - Revelation

This song was first released on the take me to tomorrow album. it is the only album it has been released on.
See the sun rise
Open up your eyes
Today is the very first day
Watch the morning come
Now the night is gone
Yesterdays so very far away
Trouble you get out of my sight
You know I cant look at you
When the sun is so bright
You know everythings coming together now cant you see
And I live my life in celebration
That Ive got a life to live
And I sing my song in revelation
That Ive got a song that I can give to you
And you know I do
La la la
I was blind now I can see
You know Im just learning how it feels to be free
You know I never really knew just what it could be

Like A Sad Song

Usually in the morning
Im filled with sweet belonging
And everything is beautiful to see
Even when its raining
The sound of heaven singing
Is simply joyful music to me
Sometimes I feel like a sad song
Like Im all alone without you
So many different places
A million smiling faces
Life is so incredible to me
Especially to be near you
And how it is to touch you
Oh, paradise was made for you and me
Sometimes I feel like a sad song
Like Im all alone without you
I know that life goes on just perfectly
Everything is just the way that it should be
Still there are times when my heart feel like breaking
And anywhere is where Id rather be

Im In The Mood To Be Desired

This song was first released on the dreamland express album. it is the only album it has been released on.
Another day is over and Im on my way home
Knowing youll be waiting is all I need to know
cause Im in the mood to be desired
Wrap your arms around me
Im in the mood
Lets build a fire
Till the embers retire, well be
Lost, in a world of ecstacy
Forget about my troubles
Forget about my woes
Youre the one who comforts me
Whenever I feel low
cause Im in the mood to be desired
Wrap your arms around me
Im in the mood
Lets build a fire
Till the embers retire, well be
Lost, in a world of ecstacy
Youre everything I could imagine
