It starts with just a little glance, now.
Right away, you're thinkin' 'bout romance, now.
You know you ought to take it slower,
But you just can't wait to get to know her.
A brand new love affair
Is such a beautiful thing,
But if you're not careful,
Think about the pain it can bring.
It makes you feel so bad.
It makes your heart feel sad.
It makes your days go wrong.
It makes your nights so long.
You've got to keep in mind
Love is here
Today
and its gone
Tomorrow.
It's here
And gone so fast.
Right now you think that she's perfection.
This time is really an exception.
Well, you know I hate to be a downer,
But I'm the guy she left before you found her.
Well, I'm not sayin'
You won't have a good love with her,
But I keep on rememberin'
Things like they were.
She made me feel so bad.
She made my heart feel sad.
She made my days go wrong
And made my nights so long.
You've got to keep in mind
Love is here
Today
and its gone
Tomorrow.
It's here
And gone so fast.
Keep in mind
Love is here
Today
and its gone
Tomorrow.
It's here
And gone so fast.
Love is here
Today
and its gone
Tomorrow.
It's here
And gone so fast.This song appears on nine albums, and was first released on the It's About Time Album, and has also been released on the Greatest Hits Vol 3, Changes, The Very Best of John Denver (Double CD), Country Classics, The Country Roads Collection and The Rocky Mountain Collection Albums.

He was born in the Bitterroot Valley in the early morning rain
Wild geese over the water headin' north and home again
Bringin' a warm wind from the south
Bringin' the first taste of the spring
His mother took him to her breast and softly she did sing
Oh Montana, give this child a home
Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own
Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes
Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild Montana skies
His mother died that summer and he never learned to cry
He never knew his father and he never did ask why
He never knew the answers that would make an easy way
But he learned to know the wilderness and to be a man that way
His mother's brother took him in to family and his home
Gave him a hand that he could lean on and a strength to call his own
And he learned to be a farmer and he learned to love the land
And he learned to read the seasons and he learned to make a stand
Oh Montana, give this child a home
Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own
Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes
Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild Montana skies
On the eve of his 21st birthday he set out on his own
He was 30 years and runnin' when he found his way back home
Ridin' a storm across the mountains and an aching in his heart
Said he came to turn the pages and to make a brand new start
Now he never told a story of the time that he was gone
Some say he was a lawyer, some say he was a John
There was so
