Annie's Song

This is another song I listen to from time to time. Denver's voice and the lyrics he wrote is very nice. When we love someone, we want to give the one we love the special thing. And he is the singer and song writer, so this is why the song has Annie, his wife, as the title of the song! The song is from John Denver's best album "Back Home Again and was featured in a scene in the movie My Best Friend's Wedding.

Since it is the old song, the quality of record at that time wasn't good enough. I chose the VDO on youtube post by Jstfmceh instead.

"Annie's Song" is a song recorded and written by singer-songwriter John Denver. It was his second number one song in the USA, occupying that spot for two weeks in July 1974. It also went to number one in the UK, where it was Denver's only major hit single (many of Denver's American hits were more familiar in the UK through cover versions by other artists).

Inspiration

"Annie's Song" was written as an ode to Denver's then-wife, Annie Denver (née Martell). Denver "wrote this song in about ten-and-a-half minutes one day on a ski lift" to the top of Bell Mountain in Aspen, Colorado, as the physical exhilaration of having "just skied down a very difficult run" and the feeling of total immersion in the beauty of the colors and sounds that filled all senses inspired him to think about his wife.

The song has since become a wedding standard and an expression of love for many people, due to its grand imagery and the fact it could apply to anyone (Annie is not mentioned by name in any part of the song).

Annie's Song
by John Denver


You fill up my senses
like a night in the forest
like the mountains in springtime,
like a walk in the rain

like a storm in the desert,
like a sleepy blue ocean
you fill up my senses,
come fill me again.

Come let me love you,
let me give my life to you
let me drown in your laughter,
let me die in your arms

let me lay down beside you,
let me always be with you
come let me love you,
come love me again.

(instrumental)


You fill up my senses
like a night in the forest
like the mountains in springtime,
like a walk in the rain

like a storm in the desert,
like a sleepy blue ocean
you fill up my senses,
come fill me again.
