FOR YOU - John Denver - Just a look in your eyes again Just to lay in your arms Just to be the first one always there for you Just to live in your laughter Just to sing in your heart Just to be everyone of your dreams come true

lyrics 
Just a look in your eyes again
Just to lay in your arms
Just to be the first one always there for 
you
Just to live in your laughter
Just to sing in your heart
Just to see everyone of your dreams come true.


Just to sit by your window
Just to touch in the night
Just to offer a prayer each day for you
Just to long for your kisses
Just to dream of your sighs
Just to know that I'd give my life for you.


For you for the rest of my life

For you all the best of my life
For you alone, only for you.


Just to wake up each morning
Just to you by my side
Just to know that you're never really far away
Just a reason for living

Just to say I adore
 

Just to know that you're here in my heart to stay.

For you for the rest of my life

For you all the best of my life
For you alone, only for you.


Just the words of a love song
Just the beat of my heart
 

Just the pledge of my life, my love, for you.
John Denver's first live album, An Evening with John Denver (1975), was a lavish two-LP set accompanying a network TV special, released at his commercial peak. His second live album, The Wildlife Concert, is a lavish two-CD set accompanying a cable TV special and home video, released at his commercial trough. Denver performs most of his Top Ten hits from the '70s (but not "Thank God I'm a Country Boy," the big hit off the last live album), getting the bulk of them out of the way early on the first disc. He adds some well-chosen covers by folk peers such as David Mallett (the antiwar "You Say the Battle Is Over") and Tom Paxton ("Bet on the Blues"), selects some of his better, if less familiar, songs of the last decade ("The Harder They Fall," "Falling Out of Love"), and introduces new material touching on his favorite romantic ("Is It Love?") and political/philosophical ("Amazon") themes. With such a balanced set list, he manages to revitalize the best of his catalog, reassert his folk roots, and, to an extent, redefine himself.
