This song appears on four albums, and was first released on The Flower That Shattered The Stone album, and has also been released on the Stonehaven Sunrise, The Gift You Are and The John Denver Collection - Sunshine On My Shoulder albums. 

Two days before the moon was round 

You felt the urge of sun's light beams 

The muffled world of dolphin sound 

Slipped down and back into your dreams 

For nine full months that passed before 

You learned of all of life's ancient rhymes 

Then mother sensed a farther shore 

And brought you forth into these times

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

So taste the air of your new world 

And gently guide us to your mind 

It knows the winds and sails unfurled 

And holds to heart the dolphin kind 

Welcome precious earthmade child 

We met you first in your father's songs 

And mother's smile and waters wild 

It's in this place you now belong 

I know you know of all these things 

And feel the faith of a dolphin's sigh 

For you were born on silver wings 

To taste the high blown crystal sky 

Photos 

To sing one day to all of us 

The songs you learned in dolphin lair 

Giving hope to life as all we must 

And teach us how their grace to share 

Words and music by John Denver and Bob Samples
