B Sun on my Shoulder

SUN ON MY SHOULDER

A friend has died, I've never met
Though he was close, I can't forget
The pleasure in his company
His words, set my spirit free.

He sang to me, yes me alone
His songs he sang, there in my home
In the quiet moments, when I was down
He would lift my heart again.

His voice has reached in to my dreams
And turned dark clouds, into sunbeams
As country roads, I've walked along
Humming, sunshine and Annie's song.

He's travelled with me through the years
Calmed my anger, eased all my fears
We've climbed the rocky mountain high
Explored the oceans, and watched the eagles fly.

I've laughed with him, I've even cried
He helped me when my father died
He'll help me yet, as time goes on
John Denver, now he's gone.
