Don't know when I'll be back again Oh, babe, I hate to go {last time only}
verse 2
There's so many times I've let you down, So many times I've played around,
I tell you now, that they don't mean a thing.
Ev'ry place I go I'll think of you, Ev'ry song I sing I'll sing for you.
When I come back I'll bring your wedding ring.
Chorus
verse 3
Now the time has come to leave you, One more time let me kiss you,
Then close your eyes, I'll be on my way.
Dream about the days to come When I won't have to leave alone,
About the times I won't have to say:
Chorus with added Finale

| John Denver eerily predicted his own demise with this song! SPOOKY, HUH? | |

| Correction: Ev’ry place I go, I’ll think of you Ev’ry song I sing, I’ll sing for you When I come back, I’ll bring your wedding ring should read: Every place I go, I think of you Every song I sing, I sing for you When I come back, I’ll wear your wedding ring | |

| Actually, it's John's song, though Peter, Paul and Mary made it famous. | |

| this is song is beautiful. no one's ever been able to capture the agony of a muscian on the road, travelling and away from the one he loves like john has. | |
