I was saddened by the recent loss of John Denver and the songs that

will never be. This selection is a song by John for his daughter. I

hope you all enjoy it.

Whispering Jesse

John Denver (klr)

I often had wandered, in deep contemplation

It seems that the mind runs wild when you?re all alone

The way that it could be, the ways that it should be

Things I?d do differently, if I could do them again

I?ve always loved springtime, the passing of winter

The green of the new leaves and life goin? on

The promise of morning, the long days of summer

Warm nights of loving her, beneath the bright stars

I?m just an old cowboy, from high Colorado

To old to ride anymore, too blind to see

I sleep in the city now, away from my mountains

Away from the cabin we always called home

I dreamed I left there, on an old palamino

Whispering Jesse rode right by my side

I long to hold her, to hear her soft breathing

The touch of her cool hand, on my fevered brow

Whispering Jesse, still rides in the mountains

Still sings in the canyons, still lives in my heart
