I once held her in my arms
She said she would always stay
But I was cruel
I treated her like a fool
I threw it all awayOnce I had mountains in the palm of my hand
And rivers that ran through ev’ry day
I must have been mad
I never knew what I had
Until I threw it all awayLove is all there is, it makes the world go ’round
Love and only love, it can’t be denied
No matter what you think about it
You just won’t be able to do without it
Take a tip from one who’s tried

reading my mind… meeting in dreams…melting in feelings… all unseen…all real in the heartsong where the music flows.. love is the answer and we all know …For one thing that’s certain… mountains are still in the palm of our hand … and rivers flow through every day –
for the song Bob
and for your presence Egil,
I bring you Love
Nice words.. thanks “once upon a star”
This is Bob for Everyman I would say – does anyone still buy the notion that he can’t sing?
Great song. Loved the live version from “Hard Rain” even more because of that album’s seething emotion.
Yes it was live you can tell the difference from the album.
I remember watching this on tv in 1969, never missed the Johnny Cash show, it was so great to see Dylan – back before the days of videos and mtv and youtube! Wasn’t he great!!! Still is!!!
This was not sung live, was it? Sounds very similar to the album version.
Are you serious Per johan ?
Dylan miming @ Johnny Cash Show… Nope.
This is live… and it’s wonderful.
Just in time! You always seem to read my mind!
I’ve been listening to Nashville Sessions all week 
Thx!! :))
