john denver – alaska and me lyrics
this song appears on three alb-ms, and was first released on the higher ground alb-m, and has also been released on the gift you are and the john denver collection – calypso alb-ms.
when i was a child and i lived in the city
i dreamed of alaska so far away
and i dreamed i was flying over mountains and glaciers
somehow i knew i¡�¯d live there one day
well it took me some growin¡�¯, and a fair bit of schoolin¡�¯
and a little bit of trouble to get on the move
and i felt like a loser but i turned out the winner
when i came to alaska the land that i love
here¡�¯s to alaska, here¡�¯s to the people
here¡�¯s to the wild and here¡�¯s to the free
here¡�¯s to my life in a chosen country
here¡�¯s to alaska and me
i was born in a cabin on little mulchatna
raised in hard times but i had a good life
from the first time i flew with my father a singin¡�¯
i knew that i¡�¯d wind up a bush pilot¡�¯s wife
we sleep near the sound of a slow running river
and wake up most mornings to a drizzling rain
and we face every day like the first or the last one
with nothin¡�¯ to lose and heaven to gain
here¡�¯s to alaska, here¡�¯s to the people
here¡�¯s to the wild and here¡�¯s to the free
here¡�¯s to my life in a chosen country
here¡�¯s to alaska and me
oh, for the fire on a cold winter¡�¯s night
and once more to gaze at the great northern lights
for all of the beauty my children will see
here¡�¯s to alaska and me
here¡�¯s to alaska, here¡�¯s to the people
here¡�¯s to the wild and here¡�¯s to the free
here¡�¯s to my life in a chosen country
here¡�¯s to alaska and me
