Annie's Song

You fill up my senses
Like a night in a 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

You fill up my senses
Like a night in a 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

Notes

John Denver wrote “Annie’s Song” in 1974, while on a ski lift on Bell Mountain in Aspen, Colorado. He had just skied down a difficult run called, “Elevator Shaft.” He was so exhilarated by the previous run that he was inspired to compose “Annie’s Song” riding back up the lift. He was so excited about the song that he raced home and immediately set it to music. He dedicated it to his wife Ann.
