Song for the Life Lyrics

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

This song appears on three albums, and was first released on the Autograph album, and has also been released on the Voice Of America and The Country Roads Collection albums.

I dont drink as much as I used to
Lately it just aint my style
And the hard times dont hurt like they used to
They pass quicker like when Is a child

Somehow Ive learned to listen
For a sound like the sun goin down
In the magic the morning is bringing
It keeps my feet on the ground

Dont the midsummer days sit so heavy
But dont they flow like a breeze through your mind
And nothin occurs in a hurry
To make up for someones lost time

Somehow Ive learned to listen
For a sound like the sun goin down
In the magic the morning is bringing
It keeps my feet on the ground

Somehow Ive learned to listen
For a sound like the breeze dyin down
In the magic the morning is bringing
It keeps my feet on the ground

Missing the main line of the chorus!

"In the magic that morning is bringing;
there's a song for the life I have found;
It keeps my feet on the ground."
