Summer

John Denver · Portrait [1999]

Silently the morning mist is lying on the water

captive moonlight waiting for the dawn

Softly like a baby's breath a breeze begins to whisper

the sun is coming, quick we must be gone



Smiling like a superstar the morning comes in singing

the promise of another sunny day

And all the flowers open up to gather in the sunshine

I do believe that summer's here to stay



And oh, I love the life within me

I feel a part of everything I see

And oh, I love the life around me

a part of everything is here in me



Riding on the tapestry of all there is to see

so many ways and oh so many things

Rejoicing in the differences there's no one just like me

yet as different as we are we're still the same



And oh, I love the life within me

I feel a part of everything I see

And oh, I love the life around me

a part of everything is here in me

a part of everything is here in me

a part of everything is here in me
