John Denver.. I Watch You Sleeping.

A beautiful song we all can identify with, this is for Jennifer and Keith and the star of the show Emily.

I watch you sleeping little angel face
And on behalf of the human race
Welcome to this crazy place

I watch you sleeping innocent and free
I don't know what your dreams may be
You don't know what you mean to me

You have never heard thunder
You have never seen the rain
But you can still feel the wonder
You can still feel the pain
And sometimes you look at me
So wise and so sure
I could easily believe you have been here before

I watch you sleeping little angel face
And on behalf of the human race
Welcome to this crazy place

I won't be here forever
But as long as I'm around
I promise you I will never let you down
To help make a world you can feel worthy of
I will teach you to fly on the wings of my love

I watch you sleeping brave and unaware
You don't know yet so you don't care
I want you to know it's hard out there

I watch you sleeping little angel face
And on behalf of the human race
Welcome to this crazy place

I watch you sleeping
I watch you sleeping
I watch you sleeping
I watch you sleeping
I watch you sleeping
I watch you sleeping

there is not one song he sang that I do not like. I loved his style, and his songs, even before they were popular, and I still do.

@Matuku35 This song was written by the fabulous Mike Batt, who's only claim to fame, sadly, seems to be the Wombles!!!...but he has written some truly wonderful songs, (this one being one of my favourites, sung by the one and only JD).

[Matuku35]

Extraordinary, never heard it before. Share the sentiments of the song. How much applies to our grand children. Did JD compose it? Not commercial however.
