John Denver wrote this song for his wife Annie while he was on a ski lift in Aspen, Colorado.  John loved the mountains.  John loved life.

Long ago. I sang this ode to love, adding the Irish Blessing as a third verse.  It fits.

Annie’s Song makes me happy.  I will sing it soon for those who would like to listen.

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 lie down beside you
let me always be with you
Come let me love you
come love me again

May the road rise to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
The rains fall soft upon your fields
And until we meet again
May God hold you in the palm of His hand

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

***

John and me … and you
