This medley was first released on the rocky mountain high album. it is the only album it has been released on. summer also appears on the an evening with album.      Summer      Silently the morning mist is lying on the water   Captive moonlight waiting for the dawn   Softly like a baby's breath a breeze begins to whisper   The sun is coming, quick you must be gone   Smiling like a superstar the morning comes in singing   The promise of another sunny day   And all the flowers open up to gather in the sunshine   I do believe that summer's here to stay      And oh I love the life within me   I feel part of everything I see   And oh I love the life around me   A part of everything is here in me      Riding on the tapestry of all there is to see   So many ways and oh so many things   Rejoicing in the differences, ther's no one just like me   Yet as different as we are we're still the same      And oh I love the life within me   I feel part of everything I see   And oh I love the life around me   A part of everything is here in me      Fall      Reflections on the water like shadows in my mind   Speak to me of passing days and nights and passing time   The falling leaves are whispering winter's on it's way   I close my eyes remembering the warmth of yesterday      It seems a shame to see september swallowed by the winter   And more than that it's oh so sad to see the summer end   And though the changing colors are a lovely thing to see   If it were mine to make the change I'd let it be      But I don't remember hearing anybody asking me      Winter      It's cold and it's getting colder   It's gray and white and winter all around   And oh I must be getting older   All this snow is trying to get me down      There's a fire in the corner slowly dyin'   Sometimes I just don't feel like goin' on   And yet I know it's more than worth the waiting   For another chance to see the summer sun      Come on, shine on me!      Late winter, early spring   (when everybody goes to mexico)      (instrumental only)      Spring      Open up your eyes and see a brand new day   A clear blue sky and brightly shining sun   Open up your ears and hear the breezes say   Everything that's cold and gray has gone   Open up your hands and feel the rain come down   Taste the wind and smell the flowers' sweet perfume   Open up your mind and let the light come in   The earth has been reborn and life goes on      Do you care what's happening around you   Do your senses know the changes when they come   Can you see yourself reflected in the seasons   Can you understand the need to carry on      Riding on the tapestry of all there is to see   So many ways and oh so many things   Rejoicing in the differences, there's no one just like me   Yet as different as we are we're still the same      And oh I love the life within me   I feel a part of everything I see   And oh I love the life within me   A part of everything is here in me   A part of everything is here in me   A part of everything is here in me      Words and music by john denver, mike taylor and dick kniss
