John Denver makes me think of a time when things were so much simpler.





Me too. My six bridesmaids were all between the ages of 12 and 21. They wore white embroidered nightgowns (really!), played guitar and cello and sang the following John Denver song at our outdoor semi-hippie style wedding.

I'll walk in the rain by your side, I'll cling to the warmth of your hand.
I'll do anything to keep you satisfied, I'll love you more than anybody can.
And the wind will whisper your name to me, little birds will sing along in time.
Leaves will bow down when you walk by and morning bells will chime.

I'll be there when you're feeling down to kiss away the tears that you cry.
I'll share with you all the happiness I've found, a reflection of the love in your eyes.
And I'll sing you the songs of the rainbow, a whisper of the joy that is mine.
Leaves will bow down when you walk by and morning bells will chime.

I'll walk in the rain by your side, I'll cling to the warmth of your tiny hand.
I'll do anything to help you understand, and I'll love you more than anybody can.
And the wind will whisper your name to me, little birds will sing along in time.
Leaves will bow down when you walk by and morning bells will chime.


They changed "tiny hand" to "hand". I think we agreed on this song because there was a limited number of chords they could play.
