John Denver 1943-1997

Somewhere beyond the mountains,

Where heaven meets the skies,

Where eagles soar and rainbows end

Is where your spirit flies.

In a place of no tomorrows,

In serenity and peace,

Where sunshine fills your every hour

And pain and sorrows cease.

And in the arms of angels

Is where you now belong,

But when you went you left behind

Your legacy of song.

A legacy of love for us

That ever lingers on,

It’s in our hearts and in our souls,

It never will be gone.

We’ll hear it on the breezes,

A whisper in the night,

And ever in our memories,

For each, a guiding light.

And I look toward the mountains,

Through tears that fill my eyes,

And far beyond where I can see,

Your wond’rous spirit flies.
