Celebrate Earth Day (Every Day)

words and music by JOHN DENVER
from the 1990 album Earth Songs

Celebrate morning
The cry of a loon on a lake in the night
the dreams that are born in the
dawn's early light
Celebrate morning

Celebrate living
The laughter that sings in the heart of a child
The freedom that flies at the call of the wild
Celebrate living

Celebrate evening
The stars that appear in the loss of the sun
Whispering winds, "We are
one, we are one"...

Celebrate earth Day, every day
Celebrate earth Day, every day
Celebrate land and sea
Celebrate you and me

Celebrate earth Day, every day
Celebrate land and sea
Celebrate you and me
Celebrate earth Day, every day,
every day, every day, every day

Perhaps love

Words and music by JOHN DENVER
From his album SEASONS OF THE HEART (1982)
Released as a single by
JOHN DENVER and PLACIDO DOMINGO

John Denver wrote this at perhaps one of the most confused times in his life, when he was considering extreme measures. He'd just been through the process of divorcing Annie Martell, about whom he wrote Annie's Song and other beautiful love songs. This song is almost a hinge between when amny of his love songs were the immature product of somebody who, by his own admission, was "in love with falling in love"; the darker sides of loving and losing would come through more after this. Dencer and Martell started to reconcile their cifferences before his death in 1997, but rumours that they were remarried have not been sunstantiated, but would be a fitting example of life imitating art - "the memory of love will bring you home".

Perhaps love is like a resting place
A shelter from the storm
It exists to give you comfort
It is there to keep you warm
And in those times of trouble
When you are most alone
The memory of love will bring you home

Perhaps love is like a window
Perhaps an open door
It invites you to come closer
It wants to show you more
And even if you lose yourself
And don`t know what to do
The memory of love will see you through

Oh, love to some is like a cloud
To some as strong as steel
For some a way of living
For some a way to feel
And some say love is holding on
And some say letting go
And some say love is everything
And some say they don`t know

Perhaps love is like the ocean
Full of conflict, full of pain
Like a fire when it`s cold outside
Or thunder when it rains
If I should live forever
And all my dreams come true
My memories of love will be of you
