Alaska And Me — текст песни (John Denver)

When I was a child and I lived in the city
I dreamed of Alaska so far away
and I dreamed I was flying over mountains and glaciers
somehow I knew that I`d live there one day

Well it took me some growin` and a fair bit of schoolin`
and a little bit of trouble to get on the move
and I felt like a loser but I turned out the winner
when I came to Alaska the land that I love

Rit: Here`s to Alaska, here`s to the people
here`s to the wild and here`s to the free
here`s to my life in a chosen country
here`s to Alaska and me.

I was born in a cabin on little Mulchatna
raised in hard times but I had a good life
from the first time I flew with my father a singin`
I knew that I`d wind up a bush pilot`s wife.

We sleep near the sound of a slow running river
and wake up most mornings to a drizzling rain
and we live every day like the first or the last one
with nothing to lose and heaven to gain.

Rit: Here to Alaska....


Oh, for a fire on a cold winter`s night
and once more to gaze at the great northern lights
for all of the beauty my children will see
here`s to Alaska and me.

Here`s to Alaska, here`s to the people
here`s to the wild and here`s to the free
here`s to my life in a chosen country
here`s to Alaska and me
oh, here`s to Alaska and me
