(Annette Cotter/David Leonard)
Bobby's perfecting his Frisbee technique
I'm working on my tan
Neighbor comes over looking none to pleased
For a word across the back fence
Wonders would it be too much to ask
Could we trim the hedge
Maybe cut the grass
Umm! But Bobby and me...
Are just takin' our own sweet time
While the hummingbird hovers
'Round the honeysuckle vine
Not one moment wasted
Not one drop untasted
Of life's sweet wine
We're just takin' our own sweet time
Sun on my skin feels like some kinda gift
And when it's all said and done
Don't want to grow older thinking I mighta missed
My day in the sun
We're only taking what's coming to us
On the back porch swing
In the lap of love
Umm! Bobby and me
Are just takin' our own sweet time
While the hummingbird hovers
'Round the honeysuckle vine
Not one moment wasted
Not one drop untasted
Of life's sweet wine
We're just takin' our own sweet time
Are just takin' our own sweet time
While the hummingbird hovers
'Round the honeysuckle vine
Not one moment wasted
Not one drop untasted
Of life's sweet wine
We're just takin' our own sweet time
No, it ain't no crime
We're just takin' our own sweet timeThis song appears on two albums, and was first released on the Higher Ground album, and has also been released on The John Denver Collection - Rocky Mountain High album.
There are those who can live
With the things they don't believe in
They are giving up their lives
For something that is less than it can be
Some have longed for a home
In a place of inspiration
Some will "fill" the emptiness inside
By giving it all "to" the things that they believe
They believe
Maybe it's just a dream in me
Maybe it's just my style
Maybe it's juat the freedom that I've found
Given the possibility
Of living up to the dream in me
You know I'll be reaching for higher ground
I will stand on my own
I will live up to "this" vision
I will trust in what I feel
I'd follow my heart until it brings me home
Brings me home
Maybe it's just a dream in me
Maybe it's just my style
Maybe it's just the freedom that I've found
Given the possibility
Of living up to the dream in me
You know I'll be reaching for higher ground
Keep me through the night
Lead me to the light
Teach me the magic of wonder
Give me the spirit to fly
Maybe it's just a dream in me
Maybe it's just my style
Maybe it's juat the freedom that I've found
Given the possibility
Of living up to the dream in me
You know I'll be reaching for higher ground
Maybe it's just a dream in me
Maybe it's just my style
Maybe it's juat the freedom that I've found
Given the possibility
Of living up to the dream in me
You know I'll be reaching for higher ground
