John Denver Come And Let Me Look In Your Eyes

From The Rocky Mountain Collection

I guess growing isn't hard to do, just stand against the wall.
Once I was just two feet high, today I'm six feet tall.
But knowing who to listen to is something else again.
Words just whistle 'round my head like seasons in the wind.
All across the water, the clouds are sailing, they won't let me look at the sky.
All I want to do is try and find myself, come and let me look in your eyes.
In searching for the way to go, I've followed all the rules.
The way they say to choose between the wise men and the fools.
I listen to the words they say, I read what I should read.
I do whatever's right to do, try to be what I should be.
Someone let me in, I think the sky is falling, seems I've gotten lost on my way.
All I want to do is try and find myself, come and let me look in your eyes.
Oh, but wisdom isn't underground nor on a mountainside.
Where am I to take myself? There's no place here to hide, where can I hide?
All across the universe, the stars are fading. Seems we've gotten lost on our way.
All I want to do is try and find myself, come and let me look in your eyes.
Come and let me look in your eyes, come and let me look in your eyes.

This song appears on four albums, and was first released on spirit album. it has also been released on the rocky mountain collection, reflections: songs of love and life and the country roads co
Ion albums.
I guess growing isnt hard to do
Just stand against the wall
Once I was just two feet high
Today Im six feet tall
But knowing who to listen to
Is something else again
Words just whistle round my head
Like seasons in the wind
All across the water the clouds are sailing
They wont let me look at the sky
All I want to do is try and find myself
Come and let me look in your eyes
In searching for the way to go
Ive followed all the rules
The way they say to chooses between
The wise men and the fools
I listen to the words they say
I read what I should read
I do whatevers right to do
Try to be what I should be
Someone let me in I think the sky is falling
Seems Ive gotten lost on my way
All I want to do is try and find myself
Come and let me look in your eyes
Ah, but wisdom isnt underground
Nor on a mountainside
And where am I to take myself
Theres no place here to hide
All across the universe the stars are fading
Seems weve gotten lost on our way
All I want to do is try and find myself
Come and let me look in your eyes
Come and let me look in your eyes
Come and let me look in your eyes

I first heard JD as a child in the early 70's. His music has resonated thoughout my life. I wrote a eulogy for my college paper when he died in 1997. I didn't think the editor would publish it - they were a bit post modern - but he said "I spoke from the heart" and that was why he let it through. I could do so much. JD always "spoke from the heart" - and it is this which makes his lyrics and his singing so memorable and so real today, 12 years after his tragic passing.

What a lovely thing to do. Thanks for sharing your story. :-)

As always, another of his lesser know, most beautiful songs! I feel if anyone wanted to know the real John Denver all they have to do is listen to his music - he has basically sang us his whole lifes story - happiness, love, dreams, hopes, fears, & pain are all there,and all we have to do is listen! He's always in my heart & soul! Thanks for remembering!

At the end of a tough day,where else would I go?

As loved as HE was, did ANYONE ever listen to HIM?? Right there in the lyrics. I'm sorry for him, too. As loud as he sang, none of us heard. HE was a lonely soul. For reason's that are private. NOB! Sang his heart out to us.

Great wonderful "old" soul that wrote those songs. Wide open expectations, he hoped for, trusted. So happy to see videos of he & Zack fishing. Time spent w/family. PRECIOUS.

Flying was the one of the places, for him, to calm the roar.

GOD BLESS
