Time as I've known it Doesn't take much time to pass by me Minutes into days turn into months turn into years They hurry by me Still I love to see the sun go down And the world go around Dreams full of promises Hopes for the future I've had many Dreams I can't remember now Hopes that I've forgotten Faded memories Still I love to see the sun go down And the world go around And I love to see the morning As it steals across the sky I love to remember And I love to wonder why And I hope that I'm around So I can be there when I die When I'm gone I hope that you will think of me In moments when you're happy And you're smiling And that the thought will comfort you On cold and cloudy days If you are crying And that you'll love to see the sun go down And the world go around And around and around Words and music by John Denver
