Lyrics:
And talk of poems and prayers and promises
And things that we believe in
How sweet it is to love someone
How right it is to care
How long it's been since yesterday
And what about tomorrow
And what about our dreams
And all the memories we share
#JohnDenver #PoemsPrayersandPromises #TheWildlifeConcert
I am 70 yrs now,but i have listened to and loved his music and songs since i was 15 yrs old,the way he makes his guitar sing along with him is an absolute delight,i am fighting depression and was diagnosed recently with leukaemia,so when i feel down and alone i just listen to John's music,it takes me to better place.the whole world needs to listen to it.take care everyone.💔
I hope you have all the help you need as you deal with leukemia ❤️
That makes two of us.
keep it up brother, GOD is in command! wish better days in your life, with john' songs as company! GOD bless you!
There is no age appropriate. His voice is ageless. ❤All best wishes in your recovery from leukemia.❤
Glad you have John to keep you company funny isnt it how evrryone deserts you in the fsce of illnrss same thing happened to me but one thing is certain JD is still here ready to help us my prayers are always answered
I cried buckets when he died! I am 70 years old, and I still love that beautiful voice and these wonderful songs. He is missed so much.
DITTO
A unique and much missed voice, so talented and gifted. R.I.P John Henry Deutchendorf.
The world lost a giant of a man. We mourn JD but treasure his gift to humanity. RIP JD, your kindness and inspiration gives us all a lift.
You just nailed it ❤
I am 78 and his music never grows old. Whenever I feel down I listen to John’s music and somehow it refreshes me and soothes me. In my mind he was one of the greatest singer/songwriters of my lifetime. I truly miss his presence in this totally messed up world.
@@michaelleach5797 I sure do miss him, his eyes were like a smile and they were kind, you could read his face, country boy who loved his Colorado.. another person who I love,but not like I do JD, is Garfunkel,of Simon and Garfunkel, I love their music, it's a shame they stopped recording..and a group, though there were many I loved, The Beach Boys touched my soul," In My Room", is so me.. our time has passed but we have there songs to listen to.. but JD, no one can take his place
I feel so much the same! To this day
Lyrically his greatest song. Sure RMH or AHWV same company. But this one... essence.
John Denver’s music has enhanced my life since I was 21. I’m 71 now and I still play his music❤
I listen to J D every day, it keeps me on track and grounded, thank God I lived when he did, peace
He's so good my heart aches that he's gone. Rest well John and sing for the Father.
We all die but very few leave a legacy to match John Denver.
So amazingly healing to listen to JD during a pandemic.
Perfect
Agreed....his song " It's about time" is especially appropriate for these hard days.
So sweet indeed.
I just shared one of my poems in You Tube. I will appreciate if you like it, leave a comment etc. Thanks in advance. Here is the link:

Loved his music so, so much. His accident crushed me so much. He had amazing talent.
Yes that's right
I'm 60 years old now, and I'm still listening his music everyday 👍👍
This man was so much ahead of time, it's unbelievable. I recall that he was looked down on, but people just didn't realize how much he cared about the environment and nature. He was a gift for all to enjoy. A humble man, that was grateful for the gift of talent given to him and loved to share it. RIP Mr. Denver.
Well said......Amen...
He was our treasure..❤
He is greatly missed..😓
@SuzN amen. My day isn't complete without listening to JD.
I agree with you!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t recall him being ‘looked down on’...But, maybe it was the crowd I hung with. I became a fan when i first heard his music in ‘71. My brother in law, a green beret, played all Denver’s songs in his Gibson guitar and serenaded my sister with them. Darcy Farrow was a favorite he’d sing to my sister. Later, they named their only daughter Darcy!
One of the most beautiful song writers and singers the world
I am 80 yrs young now & I've always loved John Denver! ❤❤❤ his lyrics are beautiful & have touched me in so many ways❤ I can't wait to see him again playing & singing his music on the that grassy hill in heaven with my childhood friends ❤️ ♥️
25 Years Without John In The World Never Forgotten RIP John 💔😭🙏🏻🕯️🦅 We Miss You Beyond Words 😭
Way more than 25yrs NOW
@@lindaclark2048 it's 25 Years it will be 26 On October 12 th 2023
A prophet is known by his words and John was a prophet, a poet and a voice for us all.
John Denver was the light of heaven God bless See you in Heaven,,,
He is the only English artist who attracts and mesmerizes all the non English listener all over the world 🌍🌎❤❤❤❤
John Denver was an American musician and songwriter.
This was one of my mother's favorite songs. She lost her battle with pancreatic cancer a few years ago, and we played it to her as she passed away, and had it performed at her funeral. This beautiful song will always have a special place in my heart.
That’s a truly beautiful & sacred thing to share.
I’d like to think he’s singing it to her, as well as my own momma, right now.
I'm so sorry for your losses, both of you, God Bless.....
@@SelkieSumner Thanks for sharing your thoughts here❤
😢❤️
My mom's favorite too.
I’m 43 now. Had this song on my parent’s record as a child and thought it was so boring. Now it hits right to my soul as it did my mom and dad back then. When it came out, they they were 21 and probably didn’t get it either.
I've always loved this song, but as I grow older, it means so much more!!!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts here❤
Yes it does. 🙏
It freezes a moment
Indeed ❤
He was committed to Jesus.Not 1 mean streak in him.He must be in heaven.😅😊❤🎉
If there’s a heaven then John is definitely there
John Denver’s music should be played in all nursing homes. He is a gift to everyone.
And I would love to hear his songs on the radio again.
I miss you John.
I am so sorry he never had the chance to grow old. Thanks for sharing this vid.
Tears.
I wonder what great songs he would've been writing and singing. But, fortunately, we did have him for the time he was here.
A singer, a balladeer. So rare now. Thank you John, we miss you so much.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts here❤❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰🥰
I love when John says "what about tomorrow?" in the sense that we should all just take a breath and enjoy the great moments in life with your loved ones
Yes!
JD was one of the few performers who was even better live than on his recordings. My favorite version of Poems is on the Evening With album.
snelson0929 YES!!! I have it on vinyl.. so beautiful.
@snelson0929 yes I have that album too, all the tracks are outstanding
Yes absolutely. I have over 3000 albums of all genres, but that's the one I'd grab in a fire or to take to a desert island. An utter masterpiece. I just regret never seeing him live in concert.
I'd read interviews with people who worked on his albums and they said he'd do 3 takes of a vocal, but each one could've been the one you put on the record.
Every time I hear this song, it makes me cry. John Denver was truly a "song's best friend". Although his songs were about nature, protecting the environment and the human condition, they were so very true. - A man totally ahead of his time and so many critics just dismissed him with the proverbial wave of their hand. Now his songs are standards. I miss seeing him and hearing new materials. So sad he was taken from us way too soon.
I don't think this world would be as much of a mess if he was still alive.
I have asked my family that if they hold any memorial for me when I die, they include this song. It captures my attitude to dying perfectly. I did not do or accomplish a lot of things I would have liked to, but it's been a good life all in all and I can leave with no regrets.
I admire the way you think pdoylemi. I look at the same way, especially now at 72 & praying I keep looking at it this way. I'm sure I will..... 👍
@@bermudaguy5003
I am happy for you. When we all accept death as nothing but the final chapter of a good story, it takes away the fear.
"how sweet it is to love someone, how right it is to care...." words for today written many years ago. Thanks for everything, John
True humanitarian in every sense of the word
I got really sick. I don't know my future. But my wife has been there for me and my kids. 28 years. I'm not giving up. Just think I have more to offer. This song explains it so well . What a treasure.
Yes, you have more to offer, keep fighting my friend.
Please, let us know how you're doing.
Never give up
Never give up honey❤
I pray for you ❤️🙏🦋
I want this song played at my celebration of life when I leave this world it says it perfectly
Exactly my thought. I am in my 60's and recently diagnosed with cancer. It was early and my chances are good, but my brothers and their kids were freaking out. I love to sing, and my best friend is a great guitar player, and we had a family gathering and I sang this for them. Maybe the treatment works and I live another 20 years, maybe it doesn't and I am gone in a year or so - either way, what does it really matter? I have had a good life. Like John, I'd hate to see it end, but it is going to at some point, and I prefer to appreciate what I have had rather than be depressed by what I might have.
@@pdoylemi I’m sorry to here that sad news I will say a prayer for you hope it all goes well
@@ericheisler1568
Thank you, so far, so good.
Could not agree more.
You may ALSO love " Perhaps Love" with JD and Placido Domingo
The greatest folk singer ever!!!
John had forgotten more about being a entertainer, a communicator and a singer than most celebrities today ever learn.
He was a very humble man, and to the end of his life it just continued to amaze him that people by the thousands would happily pay to hear him sing his songs and tell his stories. He never assumed his own greatness.
What can I say? He was kissed from nature. Simple and great. Jaguar Mercury. We're still missing you, John
Putting life in perspective drinking way too much marriage crumbling due to retire song makes sence
Many memories as a kid in the 70s attached to this song...Mom would have it turned up Saturday mornings as I got ready for soccer game
I miss him 😢
Wonder what beautiful songs he would have blessed us with if he were still with us?
seen this man many times when he came to australia and took my dear departed mum and dad and witnessed a human treasure that was beyond the stars his voice was like a rembrandt painting superb just superb was lucky to have seen him and so sad to lose him so tragically life is truly not fair
Such a beautiful song, poetic, classic. He is a story teller.
Gosh i miss him❤❤❤
Lump in my throat.Much deeper than the studio version.Anyone noticed during the ending? He altered the lyrics from passing the pipe around,to watching the sun go down
Yes I did. He also did that at the three concerts I was so fortunate to see him sing live. A part of me died the day John Denver died...
@@docholliday5439 Thanks for sharing your thoughts here❤❤❤
@@andrerieumaastricht9811 I was and still am a great fan of your fathers music. Your father's music kept me from committing suicide June 21, 1979. I was 20 years old. "Sunshine on My Shoulders" came on the radio just as I put a gun to my head. As I listen to his voice and to the words to the song I put the gun down. Today I am a great grandfather and never thought about suicide again. The news of your fathers death struck me very hard. I then thought back to that day 18 years earlier and began to weep... God Bless You Henry John Deutschendorf "Denver." 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
@@docholliday5439 wow, you must be a hard time to have thought of suicide
Message me on my email or add me up via hangout, I love to know, how my Dad's music must have helped you.

@@docholliday5439 I
I love his music, his smile, his voice. No one can replace him. Right, Francie?
The day John Denver died a part of me died also... 🌹💐🌹💐 R.I.P. John
me3 mY HEART STILL BREAKS.
Amen
Me too...I was 60 miles away from he died when it happened....cried my eyes out...if I'm by myself when one of his songs come on the radio...I'll start crying...especially when I hear Back Home Again....that one has special meaning for me...
I drove three hours to go to his memorial service in Aspen. This song and Annie's Song made me bawl :(
Me too , even 23 yrs later. It changed me and shook me to my core. I grew up listening to John Denver he was my Idol and always has been. 😢
I Miss JD so very badly 🥲 .. He gave so much to me in my youth
He was such beautiful song writer and EVERY SONG had such so meaning😊😊
It was such a national tragedy when John died. We deeply miss him.:(
There Will Never Be Another Singer Songwriter Like John 🦅♥️💔
We need a national John Denver Day!
As he aged his singing and songs carried more depth and meaning.
He voice sometimes sounds as a lullaby ❤
We Agee yes bet John Denver was a blessing to all on mother earth ❤
The amount of wisdom in this mans words, song after song, is simply amazing. As I age, and my parents enter their later years, you can always count on JD for a moment of reflection.
We need more people like John Denver in this world. What a good, decent, man. I miss him.
Was fortunate enough to see John live on three separate occasions. Each concert was uniquely magical. The first included an entire orchestra and his band. The sound and depth of the music was incredible. The second was John and his band. The music was incredible - more dynamic and improvised at times. Both were at large outdoor amphitheaters, surrounded by nature. The third was just John and his guitar at an indoor theater. Very intimate and raw. Three amazing performances I will never forget. RIP John. Thanks for the memories and the inspiration to learn the guitar. Thanks for giving a voice to the beauty of all that God has created.
American Legend
World Legend
This is one of my favorite songs and I’m pretty sure I’ve heard every version from the original on the album of the same to this one, with all the versions in between. Of all of them, my favorite was the Evening With version. I felt that the band at that time, Steve Weisberg, John Sommer, Dick Kniss and Hal Blaine, provided the best backing for John.
Another lovely evening before bedtime enjoying John Denvers wonderful voice/songs...…..12/2/19
My heart hurts, Gone too soon.
I occasionally have anxiety attacks and the first thing I do is put John Denver music on. Concentrating on his voice, the rythym of his music and the subject of his songs helps to calm me down. He is very missed! I am slowly introducing him to my son and grandchildren. 🙂
Charlene. Thank you for sharing John’s music with others. Please know that in doing this, you are helping to heal others, often without even being aware. I am a retired social worker and a long time JD fan. I was blessed to see John 16 times over the years and always felt the healing quality in John’s voice. For many years I counseled my clients who were stressed to “take two John Denver songs and call me in the morning “. It’s amazing how many of them responded positively to John’s voice and continued on as fans. I still listen to him everyday to balance my psyche and remember what is really important in life, especially in these chaotic times. The vibration of love and compassion in his voice, and the deep meanings in his words always touch my soul and provide healing. I consider it a privilege to share this aspect of John with as many people as I can, in my efforts to help heal others and help make our world a little better place for all of us.
❤️
❤❤❤
I have had insomnia since I was 12 and listening to John Denver takes it right away from me and I can sleep!
He was a genius and more than one way!
Thank you Charlene,.....I'm on here tonight because of my 3 day anxiety episode.....it's almost gone bc of John Denver music & your sharing of your words. Thank you ! Think I can sleep tonight.
Simply the greatest...voice, harmony, talent, music, songs,performances: thanks John ...
A song and a singer never to be forgotten. My heart does miss a beat when I hear you John.
So pure , so thankful , so truthful, sticking to the roots , ladies and gentlemen the legend John Denver ... it's rare to find this kind of songs.
We need more poets like John in uncertain times , what a great artist!!!!
It's a shame we lost another good one when we lost him I love them him
Never give up on the beautiful things in life, small, simple.,.grace that makes one smile
Thankyou Mr.Denver!!!
I do karaoke and on my playlist are Annie's song, Leaving on a Jet Plane, Sunshine on My Shoulders, Country Roads, Rocky aMountain High and Poems, Prayers and Promises. I love his music and songs.😢
I watch this and still can't accept that he's gone.

Much love to St. John. ❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful man , beautiful voice , clean and pure ❤
This MSN had a heart full of love and was humble I his legendary talent
Wonderful song as always from John Denver. Rest in peace John and God bless everyone
This concert must have been a fantastic one to attend and while John is so so good here, how about those musicians he has with him? Damn, we can't go without saying how good they are.
Brings tears to your eyes if you a country boy and can identify with the values he sings about
“It turns me on to think of growing old”😭💔. Tears come every time I hear this song. He never had the opportunity...heartbroken, even 24+ yrs. later. Praying he’s making music in heaven:)
Loving me some John Denver...this day and every day......
one of the greatest singer of all time
What a beautiful song . Gosh we need a man like this in the world right now
If you can 👎 John Denver, and this song in particular, I honestly feel sorry for you...
This month was the end of this beautiful music, truly miss this beauty, love for the environment and care. We will never have such a wonderful performer like John again.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts here❤
I am smiling...memories❤
I loved this mans music in the 70's and still love his music today... when all around me is falling to pieces... everything falls into place when I listen to Johns poetry... 🍻👍
This song touches my heart...
I was a kid when John Denver's songs hit the airwaves in the Philippines. All his songs are top hits John Denver is a Hall of Famer we never had.
His hopes and dream - - -2:49 I'd like to raise a family, and I'd to sail away, how sweet it is to love somebody.
POEMS, PRAYERS AND PROMISES
I've been lately thinking
About my life's time
All the things I've done
And how it's been
And I can't help believing
In my own mind
I know I'm gonna hate to see it end
I've seen a lot of sunshine
Slept out in the rain
Spent a night or two all on my own
I've known my lady's pleasures
Had myself some friends
And spent a time or two in my own home
And I have to say it now
It's been a good life all in all
It's really fine
To have a chance to hang around
And lie there by the fire
And watch the evening tire
While all my friends and my old lady
Sit and pass the pipe around
And talk of poems and prayers and promises
And things that we believe in
How sweet it is to love someone
How right it is to care
How long it's been since yesterday
And what about tomorrow
And what about our dreams
And all the memories we share
The days they pass so quickly now
Nights are seldom long
And time around me whispers when it's cold
The changes somehow frighten me
Still I have to smile
It turns me on to think of growing old
For though my life's been good to me
There's still so much to do
So many things my mind has never known
I'd like to raise a family
I'd like to sail away
And dance across the mountains on the moon
I have to say it now
It's been a good life all in all
It's really fine
To have the chance to hang around
And lie there by the fire
And watch the evening tire
While all my friends and my old lady
Sit and pass the pipe around
And talk of poems and prayers and promises
And things that we believe in
How sweet it is to love someone
How right it is to care
How long it's been since yesterday
What about tomorrow
What about our dreams
And all the memories we share
Songwriters: John Denver
A lesson in living in full appreciation of the moment. Yes, you look back and forward. But in thinking that, reflect that you are just there - in the moment. Then pass the pipe and be grateful that you've had a toke. That's all it is.
My father introduced me to JD when I was a little girl. The two of them are so wrapped up together in my thoughts. He’s 75 now and fighting lymphoma with all his might.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts here❤❤🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I love this song. He is one of my traveling companions. Driving and listening to John Denver and Jim Croce. Great music and wonderful voices.
On the windowsill this morning. A requiem for the dragonfly at the hand of that spider
It's so nice to have a chance to hang around .........and in the next blink of an eye, the spider overtook the dragonfly
Woke up with this song on my mind, so here I am listening & singing along with John again.
One of my favorites by him. Such an incredible man & musician!
🎶🎸⛵💖🌹🌞👏🎿🛫🌳
Fell in love with John and his music and lifestyle when I was 13,still loving him at 66,thank you beautiful soul!
I was in high school when he came on scene. I’ve been loving him about 60 years. How I miss him.😢
En souvenir de Carolyn qui m’a fait découvrir John Denver en 1972
Anyone who love and appreciate this song is definitely my friend.
I’m happy to be friends with you!
@@KCJSummers "So many things my mind hasn't known." Thanks.

🙏 Date 12/13/2018🙏
Just a great song that he sang with so much feelings just a great guitar player and has a beautiful voice thank you John for wonderful memories you have gave us.💚💚💚💚🎵🎸🎵🎤✌🏻👏👏👏❤️
I’ve always said this and “This Old Guitar” should be his autobiography songs; perfectly describes his life and just himself ❤️
A beautiful song about Native Americans sitting around their camp fires telling their stories while passing the pipe around. Brilliant!
This is an autobiographical song about his first years in Aspen
Not exactly, but still brilliant!
I suppose native Americans do this, but so do the rest of humanity.
This kind of songs touches my heart all the time. Kind of weird on my generation😂 but i loveee old songs!!!❤❤❤
That shows you have a heart 🙏
