Mike, no one captures John's music the way you do. I remember the first time I saw your rendition of Annie's Song, I stopped listening to people doing John Denver covers. I did not need to hear anyone else do his songs. Thanks for re-doing this.
He was born in the summer of his 27th year Coming home to a place he'd never been before He left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born again You might say he found a key for every door When he first came to the mountains his life was far away On the road and hanging by a song But the string's already broken and he doesn't really care It keeps changing fast and it don't last for long But the Colorado rocky mountain high I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lullabye Rocky mountain high (Colorado) Rocky mountain high (Colorado) He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds below He saw everything as far as you can see And they say that he got crazy once and he tried to touch the sun And he lost a friend but kept the memory Now he walks in quiet solitude the forest and the streams Seeking grace in every step he takes His sight has turned inside himself to try and understand The serenity of a clear blue mountain lake And the Colorado rocky mountain high I've seen it raining fire in the sky Talk to God and listen to the casual reply Rocky mountain high (Colorado) Rocky mountain high (Colorado) Now his life is full of wonder but his heart still knows some fear Of a simple thing he cannot comprehend Why they try to tear the mountains down to bring in a couple more More people, more scars upon the land And the Colorado rocky mountain high I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky I know he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle fly Rocky mountain high It's a Colorado rocky mountain high And I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky Friends around the campfire and everybody's high Rocky mountain high (Colorado) Rocky mountain high (Colorado) Rocky mountain high (Colorado) Rocky mountain high (Colorado) Rocky mountain high (Colorado) Rocky mountain high (Colorado)
Hi Mike I have been listening to your covers for years and I always say..............................YOU SIR ARE BLESSED. Thank you for keeping many of the great songs alive.............................
Wow! What a beautiful version. You're the expert Mike. Very well done. It was like sitting there in front of you hearing you sing. You really entertained me. Thanks for posting such an awesome performance.
You are fantastic. I just imagined myself sitting in a log cabin drinking coffee early in the morning enjoying the wild of Colorado, John Denver perfected the lyrics. And you perfected the mood. Amazing job.
Very nice Rocky mountain high cover Mike! Excellent vocals and acoustic play!! I just posted my acoustic version of this song today, and saw your cover... Great job! Steve
Hi, my friend Mike! I hope you are doing well! What sweet and captivating music you sang! It brings me many good things in our mind when I hear this song! I wish much joy, much love and much peace for you! Many Flower Kisses for my friend Mike !!!! Like 80.

JOHN DENVER: The Reborn
@@songmansinatra120 Absolutely agree..I've listened to John Denver since the early 70s and your covers are some of the best I've heard !
@@paulhunter546 thanks Paul! to be mentioned in the same sentence as the legend JD is Awesome!
@@songmansinatra120 You're entirely welcome !
Just wonderful!
He was born in the summer of his 27th year
Coming home to a place he'd never been before
He left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born again
You might say he found a key for every door
When he first came to the mountains his life was far away
On the road and hanging by a song
But the string's already broken and he doesn't really care
It keeps changing fast and it don't last for long
But the Colorado rocky mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lullabye
Rocky mountain high (Colorado)
Rocky mountain high (Colorado)
He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds below
He saw everything as far as you can see
And they say that he got crazy once and he tried to touch the sun
And he lost a friend but kept the memory
Now he walks in quiet solitude the forest and the streams
Seeking grace in every step he takes
His sight has turned inside himself to try and understand
The serenity of a clear blue mountain lake
And the Colorado rocky mountain high
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
Talk to God and listen to the casual reply
Rocky mountain high (Colorado)
Rocky mountain high (Colorado)
Now his life is full of wonder but his heart still knows some fear
Of a simple thing he cannot comprehend
Why they try to tear the mountains down to bring in a couple more
More people, more scars upon the land
And the Colorado rocky mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
I know he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle fly
Rocky mountain high
It's a Colorado rocky mountain high
And I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
Friends around the campfire and everybody's high
Rocky mountain high (Colorado)
Rocky mountain high (Colorado)
Rocky mountain high (Colorado)
Rocky mountain high (Colorado)
Rocky mountain high (Colorado)
Rocky mountain high (Colorado)
