ROCKY MOUNTAIN MELODY

         by Emily M. Parris
         Dedicated to John Denver

Sing me another Rocky Mountain Melody
The music I love to hear
Songs of love, and home, and family
All the things  that to me are dear

Sing me another rocky mountain melody
The music that makes me high
A song of the beauty and grandeur
Of the mountains so near the sky

      Sing me up into the mountains
      Let me soar with eagles high
      Sing it soft and sweet and tenderly
      'Til it makes me want to cry

      Sing of sunshine, love and flowers
      And of hope from up above
      Tell the joy you find in living
      And the happiness in love

Sing me another rocky mountain melody
Sing me another rocky mountain song
With words that are so meaningful
So simple, so true, so strong

Sing me another rocky mountain melody
Sing me another of your Rocky mountain songs
Sing of the love and the one great whole
To which each single person belongs

Take me through the cooling forests
By the brilliant, bubbling streams
Let the music lightly lift me
To the better land of dreams

Let me wander all over the mountains
Where the sky is as blue as the sea
When your songs take my mind on the journey
In the mountains I really will be

Sing me another rocky mountain melody
The music I love to hear
Songs of love, and home and family
All the things that to me are dear

Bring the children and their laughter
To cheer me on my way
And your rocky mountain melody
Will last all through the day
