John Denver was born with the name Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. on Dec. 31, 1943, in Roswell, N.M. One of America's most popular performers in the '70s, Denver's rise to fame began when he was "discovered" in a Los Angeles nightclub. He initially joined the Back Porch Majority, a nursery group for the renowned New Christy Minstrels, but, tiring of his role there, he left for the Chad Mitchell Trio where he forged a reputation as a talented songwriter.

Dreams Lyrics
John Denver
This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the seasons of the heart album, and has also been released on the the country roads collection album.
There are dreams that sail away to sea
And some that stay at home
There are dreams in need of company
And some that stand alone
There are dreams that stay inside all day
And never see the light
And if dreams come true
I swear to you
Ill dream of you tonight
In a corner bar the local star
Destroys a passing chord
He sits behind a mason jar
And dreams of his reward
Then he takes his break
And he counts his take
A dollar buys a beer
A quarter of his life is gone
And whats he doing here
Times are hard
The old backyard is covered in cement
The people seem afraid to dream
And dream dont cost a cent
There are dreams that stay inside all day
And never see the light
And if dreams come true
I swear to you
Ill dream of you tonight
And if dreams come true
I swear to you
Ill dream of you tonight
