John Denver Lyrics for Song: Falling Leaves (The Refugees)
 Lyrics for Album: Sunshine On My Shoulders: Best Of [2009]
 
 
 
 19623>Thank you for this precious day
 
 These gifts you give to me
 
 My heart so full of love for you
 
 Sings praise for all I see
 
 Oh sing for every mother's love
 
 For every childhood tear
 
 Oh sing for all the stars above
 
 The peace beyond all fear
 
 
 
 This is for the refugees
 
 The ones without a home
 
 A boat out on the ocean
 
 City street alone
 
 Are they not some dear mother's child
 
 Are they not you and I
 
 Are we the ones to bear this shame
 
 Are they this sacrifice
 
 
 
 Or are they just like falling leaves
 
 Who give themselves away
 
 From dust to dust from seed to shear
 
 And to another day
 
 If I could have one wish on earth
 
 Of all I can conceive
 
 T'would be to see another spring
 
 And bless the falling leaves
 
 
 
 Thank you for this precious day
 
 These gifts you give to me
 
 My heart so full of love for you
 
 Sings praise for all I see
 
 Oh sing for every mother's love
 
 For every childhood tear
 
 Oh sing for all the stars above
 
 The peace beyond all fear.
 
 Oh sing for all the stars above
 
 The peace beyond all fear
