John Denver

Songwriter: John Lennon Paul McCartney

There are places I'll remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some are gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meanings
When I think of love as something new
I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more

I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
In my life I love you more
