His smile
Contagious and serene
Like the mountains he sang of
The forests and the streams
In his heart
A poem and a song
In the hearts of his audience
It’s there that he belongs
He sang of love
He sang of you and me
His sunshine radiates
Upon us endlessly
His greatest wish
To bring people together
With his music and voice
To settle stormy weather
Tragically, his life cut short
But his voice lives on
As it echoes in the Rockies
And the songs he’s sung

Beautiful! I love his songs, especially Annie's song 🙂 Used to listen when I was young.

John Denver was totally cool
An amazing voice
Yes, he was a true professional singer/songwriter. Thanks SC.
His voice still fills our hearts and with this lovely tribute John's contribution to musical pleasure will love on and on.
Thank you Fay. He's one of my top favorite singer/songwriters. ; )
Fond memories. Thanks.
Thanks for the visit and comment Trenz. ; )
Super words about a great musician. 'Back in the day' when I was at work a colleague and I used to whistle and one of the tunes we used to whistle was 'Annie's Song' and we used to harmonise with each other.

That must have been a sight to see and hear. Thanks for the read and comment Andy. ; )
