Story Behind The Song

A song about people and change; reflecting on one's life. Recorded in 1979 This was recorded on reel to reel and put on cassette for copyright which I did send in. The LOC found it in a warehouse in Texas in 2019 and made a CD of the songs (compilation of works) and sent it to me. This is from that recording.

Lyrics

There's this woman I know I know and I love her so
She came by to tell me she had other places to go
And I feel so might fine on this sunny day
Pleasant thoughts of you babe come my way

Tomorrow I go to the mountains
Been a while since I've been there
Find a rock for the sunset
Feel the evening air rising up
From the valley

There's this man I Know I know and I love him so
He took me by the arm and said "You've got to let go"
And I feel so might fine on this sunny day
Pleasant thoughts of my friend here come my way

And how I love to go to the mountains
Drive along the quiet roads
Flowers beckon to me
And the morning clouds hang low
Above the valley

There's this town I know I know and I love it so
I live alone near the sea and it's good for my soul
And I feel so might fine on these sunny days
Pleasant thoughts of the people here come my way

And then I head to the mountains
At the work week's end
Wrap myself in cover
And watch the fall wind send snow
Across the valley

There's this time I know I know and I love it so!
Peacefulness has come to me
Everything just flows
And I feel so might fine on these sunny days
Pleasant thoughts come to me in this rainy way

Today I drove back from the mountains
Along the quiet roads
Another work week starting
And my life is gold
Like the valley

The valley
