Using John Denver Song Titles to Create More Songs of You

It always did seem On the Wings of a Dream
I’d Fly Away with you In My Heart -
through Singing Skies and Dancing Waters,
for Darling, The Music is You,
and The Gift You Are you have been from the start.

My Rhymes and Reasons, my divine Aspenglow,
Somethin’ About You, I can’t let go.
It seems I keep saying Goodbye Again,
watching you Leaving On a Jet Plane.
Then you’re Back Home Again and sweetest songs flow.

You can’t escape me, and I Can’t Escape you.
Poems, Prayers, and Promises prove this is true.
On Shanghai Breezes you Sail Away Home,
and I’ve Never a Doubt that for too long you’ll roam,
for you’ll Take Me to Tomorrow and more Songs Of . . . You.

Andrea, you put a lot of effort into this one. A pleasure to read. John Denver actually was a kind person with an interesting biography. He's missed by many. Smiles!!

I loved that guy. Practiced many of his songs in my older age learning to play guitar. It was a lark. After a decade, I've forgotten how to play.

I'm certain that if Denver were still alive, he would have loved this amazing tribute to his music. Who knows if he might be reading right now? All the best Lady Poetess /// Terrell

I learned guitar using many of his songs. Sadly, I have not remembered how to play guitar. I started too late in life and did not practice long enough
