Song for the Life

John Denver · Voice Of America [1998]

I don't drink as much as I used to

Lately it just ain't my style

And the hard times don't hurt like they ought to

They pass quicker like when I's a child



Somehow I've learned how to listen

For a sound like the sun goin' down

In the magic the morning is bringing

There's a song for the life I have found

It keeps my feet on the ground



Don't the midsummer days sit so heavy

But don't they flow like a breeze through your mind

And nothin occurs in a hurry

To make up for someone's lost time



Somehow I've learned how to listen

For a sound like the sun goin down

In the magic the morning is bringing

There's a song for a friend I have found

She keeps my feet on the ground



Somehow I've learned how to listen

For a sound like the breeze dyin down

In the magic the morning is bringing

There's a song for the life Ihave found

It keeps my feet on the ground
