A Song For All Lovers Lyrics

Artist: John Denver
Album: The Wildlife Concert

This song was first released on the The Wildlife Concert Album. It is the only album it has been released on.

I see them dancing somewhere in the moonlight
Somewhere in Alaska, somewhere in the sun
I hear them singing a song for all lovers
A song for the two hearts beating only as one

Imagine the morning no longer alone
The arms of another, a place to belong
No longer the struggle, no longer the night
And ever becoming in the quickening light

To see the darkness, to listen within
To answer in kindness, to ever begin
To ever be gentle, to always be strong
To walk in the wonder, to live in the song

In a place of enchantment where the wild things are known
Will the future remember when the lovers are gone?

And I see them dancing somewhere in the moonlight
Somewhere in Alaska, somewhere in the sun
I hear them singing a song for all lovers
A song for the two hearts beating only as one
A song for the two hearts beating only as one

If John Denver sang about the color of dirt, I would buy it!!

Truly, John Denver was the greatest and most beloved singer/songwriter that ever lived. There have been great singers, there have been great songwriters, but none that could ever be defined as true as John Denver. His great love for all God's finest creations also made him one of the most outstanding environmentalist and humanitarians. The mere sound of his voice can touch the depth of ones' soul. Some messages in his music could provide the path for you to not only see but feel all in life that should be valued and cherished, and all things on and in God's great earth that should be most treasured.
Without question, a life that was taken much much too soon from this world!
As Leanne so aptly stated, "If John Denver sang about the color of dirt, she would buy it"! Leanne, I totally agree.

John denvers' songs make me believe there's hope for this planet still. When I meet a woman who can appreciate what he was trying to say in his songs then and only then will I find my soul mate. I am 50 so there little hope that this will happen.

frank from baltimore - dont give up! there are many of us out here - leave the city to find your soulmate. try Alaska even. this song is about Olaus and Mardy Murie and their honeymoon into teh wilderness. thier story was amazing. i was the dispatcher that had to announce her death to grand teton national park and my heart, years later, still hurts because of it.

I had the great pleasure of meeting John Denver on 2 occasions. The first happened in June, 1970 .At hat time he was not particularly well known. He was the vocalist at the wedding of Bill Carlson and Nancy Nelson both of Minneapolis. John was sporting a new suit, which, he said was tailored in Germany, He seemed so proud of that suit. He sang several of his songs at the wedding, Memory fails me now, but I'm sure he sang "Sunshine of my shoulders" They were married at the Church of St Albert the Great where I had just been appointed pastor. They were all most gracious. Then, a few years later, I was in Burlington Northern Railroad Station, again in Minneapolis. There I recognized John. His career had really taken off by then. We both recognized each other. Again he was the epitome of graciousness. For me and thousands of others, his untimely death was a tragedy in the world of music. God bless him!

Ya know, Leanne, John Denver was a wonderful singer, and only he could make dirt fly! I am one of his biggest fans. i know his birthday, the day he died, what his last album was called, and some , if not alot of his songs. I think my alltime favorite is Annie's Song, because my middle name is annie.

This song was inspired by the lives of conservationists and Artic National Wildlife Refuge advocates Mardy and Olaus Murie. Read more about them in Jonathan Waterman's book: Where Mountains Are Nameless. I'm going to learn to play this on the guitar too.

Hi im trom australia,i have played,listened,and loved John Denvers songs for as long as i can remember,he was one of the best,if not the best,so much meaning in all of his songs.

John would get a kick out of all these comments. And I know this because I've talked with him many times since he's been on the Other Side -- see my book "Talks with John 1997 - 2007." Some copies might still be available at Phoenix and Dragon Bookstore in Atlanta.

Diane Your words about John were simply beautiful. I play guitar and play his music for people all the time. Enjoy life and peace Forever. Love james

My name is Abdellah and I am from Morocco. John has never died . He is always here for us. I love all kinds of music but John is very different from all. do not think there will be a new John. He was my inspiration. My refugee when I am down. It was a loss for humanity. I know all his songs, have listened to all of them. and I have never missed listening to him a day. He WAS
an icon!

you as him will never die.

The song was simply dedicated to all of us. Humanity, love for one another and for self, but specially love and respect what we have. Nature. Only JD can touch our hearts and soul with his songs. Our Creator took you too early to be on His side, singing all his music which was given by HIM. Thank you Lord for the gift of music through JD.

My parents (both deceased) would have been married 80 years this May First/ 2025. I am dedicating this song to them. Both loved dancing, especially the Waltz!
So “I see them dancing somewhere in the moonlight… a song for two hearts beating only for one”. Together Forever ❤️
