I Want to Live is the 12th studio album by American singer-songwriter John Denver released by RCA Records in November 1977. The title song was dedicated to the "Hunger Project", of which Denver was on the board of directors.

The lead single was "How Can I Leave You Again", of which Record World said "It moves slowly but with feeling, and is bound to be a favorite with female audiences of all ages this autumn."
