[at-l] Re: Song



I always loved Rocky Mountain High too, but the song "Summer" brings a tear
to my eye.  Yeah, I still listen to John Denver.  Thanks, Sloetoe, for
bringing my attention to "An Evening With John Denver"... how many Rucks
ago? :-)  This really captures parts of my AT hike for me - getting up with
the dawn, hiking on top of the clouds, and through fields of flowers,
meeting all of the different/similar people; all the places, the people,
the feeling of connectedness.

            Summer       John Denver

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, 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 part of everything I see
And oh I love the life around me
A part of everything is here in me
