I Canâ??t Escape
John Denver

This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the One World Album. It has also been released on The Country Roads Collection album.


Funny thing about this little heart of mine

All the ways that it can say

(I love you)

Longer than forever

Till the end of time

No matter baby come what may

(I love you)

Look at me now sittin' all by myself

Face another sleepless night all alone

All I look forward to is lying here living this song


I can't escape thinking every day about you

Can't escape wishing dear you were still mine

Can't escape thinking maybe I still love you

Can't escape caring for you all of the time


Listen to the music on the radio

Top forty hits of yesterday

(I love you)

Leavin' on a Jet Plane

Blowin' in the Wind

The Silly Games that People Play

(I love you)

Each of them carries your memory still

I can still see that look in your eyes

The one that preceded your kisses and followed your sighs


I can't escape thinking every day about you

Can't escape wishing dear you were still mine

Can't escape thinking maybe I still love you

Can't escape caring for you all of the time


Every rain in the morning reminds me of you

Every night when it's cold outside

Every time that I ache inside

(I love you)

(I love you)


Sometimes I wish it was ten years ago

We were starting all over again

Yet the way that I feel is much more than just remembering when


I can't escape thinking every day about you

Can't escape wishing dear you were still mine

Can't escape thinking maybe I still love you

Can't escape caring for you all of the time


All of the time

All of the time
