John Denver - Season Suite:(summer / Fall / Winter / Spring) lyrics

This medley was first released on the rocky mountain high album. it is the only album it has been released on. summer also appears on the an evening with album. Summer 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 you 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 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, ther'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 part of everything i see And oh i love the life around me A part of everything is here in me Fall Reflections on the water like shadows in my mind Speak to me of pa**ing days and nights and pa**ing time The falling leaves are whispering winter's on it's way I close my eyes remembering the warmth of yesterday It seems a shame to see september swallowed by the winter And more than that it's oh so sad to see the summer end And though the changing colors are a lovely thing to see If it were mine to make the change i'd let it be But i don't remember hearing anybody asking me Winter It's cold and it's getting colder It's gray and white and winter all around And oh i must be getting older All this snow is trying to get me down There's a fire in the corner slowly dyin' Sometimes i just don't feel like goin' on And yet i know it's more than worth the waiting For another chance to see the summer sun Come on, shine on me! Late winter, early spring (when everybody goes to mexico) (instrumental only) Spring Open up your eyes and see a brand new day A clear blue sky and brightly shining sun Open up your ears and hear the breezes say Everything that's cold and gray has gone Open up your hands and feel the rain come down Taste the wind and smell the flowers' sweet perfume Open up your mind and let the light come in The earth has been reborn and life goes on Do you care what's happening around you Do your senses know the changes when they come Can you see yourself reflected in the seasons Can you understand the need to carry on 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 within 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 Words and music by john denver, mike taylor and dick kniss
