It's a long way from LA to Denver
It's a long time to hang in the sky
It's a long way home to Starwood in Aspen
A sweet Rocky Mountain paradise
Oh, my sweet Rocky Mountain paradise
Springtime is rollin' âround slowly
Grey skies are bringin' me down
I can't remember when I've ever been so lonely
I forgot what it's like to be home
Can't remember what it's like to be home
But I think on my lady's sweet memories
I think on my children's sweet smiles
I think on my home in Starwood in Aspen
All my friends and the snow covered hills
Oh, my friends are the snow covered hills
And I tell you I'm happy to be here
To share and consider this time
For I see here the shadows of changes
And a feeling of new friends to find
And I see here some new friends to find
But it's a long way from this place to Denver
It's a long time to hang in the sky
It's a long way home to Starwood in Aspen
A sweet Rocky Mountain paradise
Oh, my sweet Rocky Mountain paradise

This is a little vid i put together as a tribute to this great singer who was killed in an accident
in 1997. sorry the sound quality is not better .
Thank you very much. I too believe that people are much the same across the globe, the same worries and just doing ones best to live and let live. J D's music just brings us all together. :-)

Somehow I missed this one when I was younger. I always loved John Denver's voice, and this song is right on the money with the words!

I'm new to YT, but must say that your video images are so "right on" for the music you feature, Catbrush! John D. sought to teach people all over the world that we have much in common despite any differences. Isn't it interesting that his music is still introducing people from all over the world to one another? BTW, your images of the children with the dogs are so touching - made me smile. Love and tolerance - it's what we all need, eh?
