In The Grand Way Lyrics

Artist: John Denver (Buy John Denver CDs)
Album: Country Roads Collection

This song appears on two albums, and was first released on Spirit album, and has also been released on The Country Roads Collection album.

In the grand way she loves me
The way she holds me close to rest with me
And to know she is my life to me
My empty days are done
My runnin days are run
And for the first time I love the morning

Burning sundown, coloured autumn trees
Mountain rivers, country livers put my mind at ease
And to realise such perfect harmonies
Im standin in the dawn
Of a new day comin on
And Im looking for no tomorrow

I can still hear the lonely sound
The engines of a midnight freight train northward bound
And to feel my life slowly losing ground
I never quite understood
And it seems like Ive just seen dreaming

It's "country living's" not country livers.

It's "harmony" (as in peace), not "harmonies" (as in music)

You missed a line after "I've never quite understood" - it's "Though I see it for the good"

I got married to this song and I could never count how many times I have sat and listened to this wonderful song I will also get put in gods great earth with this song.
Without doubt the best song I have ever or will ever hear.
RIP John Denver
