DEAR AMERICAN CHILD ARE YOU THERE
OR ARE YOU JUST A WILD HEART LOOKING FOR HOME
FAREWELL ANDROMEDA WHERE HAVE YOU GONE
ALL I CAN FEEL IS NOTHING BUT A BREEZE
AND THE WATER IS SINGING FOR YOU
BUT THE WATER IS NO ONE LIKE YOU
LIKE YOU...
DEAR COUNTRY BOY WHERE ARE YOUR MOUNTAINS
I FELT LIKE I WAS SUCH GOOD FRIENDS WITH YOU
YOU TOOK ME ON A ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGH
AND A FINAL TRIP ON THE WINGS THAT FLY US HOME
AND THE WATER IS SINGING FOR YOU
BUT THE WATER IS NO ONE LIKE YOU
LIKE YOU...
HIGHER GROUND AND THE ASPENGLOW
ALL THIS JOY FOR OUR CALYPSO
AND THE WATER IS SINGING FOR YOU
BUT THE WATER IS NO ONE LIKE YOU
YES THE WATER IS SINGING FOR YOU
AND THE WATER IS NO ONE LIKE YOU
LIKE YOU...
OH, LIKE YOU...
This song was written right after my trip to Monterey, California and I wanted to incorporate the feelings I felt as I sat there on the beach at the crash site, so others might feel a hint of that feeling through this song.
Can you catch ALL the titles to John songs?
There are 14 titles in this song!
This song was written on May 19th, 1998 and of course, is dedicated to John Denver.
I first performed this song at the local John Denver gathering held by my Mom, Julie Gilleand, in Mishawaka, Indiana.
