Around and Around

John Denver · Poems, Prayers & Promises [1971]

Time as I've known it, it doesn't take much time to pass by me

Minutes into days, turn into months, turn into years, they hurry by me

Still I love to see the sun go down, and the world go around



Dreams full of promises, hopes for the future, I've had many

Dreams I can't remember now, hopes that I've forgotten, faded memories

Still I love to see the sun go down, and the world go around



And I love to see the morning as it steals across the sky

And I love to remember, and I love to wonder why

And I hope that I'm around, so I can be there when I die, when I'm gone



I hope that you will think of me in moments when you're happy

and you're smiling

And that the thought will comfort you on cold and cloudy days

if you are crying

And that you'll love to see the sun go down, and the world go around

and around and around
