John Denver - Dearest Esmerelda Lyrics
Dearest Esmerelda, in another age, antiques would be modern, and we would be the rage.
Silk would be in fashion, we would dress in lace.
Love would be the passion and the saving grace.
I slept one rainy night with you in Paris, made up for a thousand wasted years.
Dearest Esmerelda, you are magic, I close my eyes and you make love appear.
Dancing in the shimmer of a crystal chandelier. Shadows singing so low, only we could hear.
Moving to the glimmer, shaking to the storm, outside it was raging but inside it was warm.
We said goodnight in the candlelight and thunder, now I wake and find you're never there.
I'm becoming old enough to wonder, happy that I'm still too young to care.
Masterpieces crumble, empires tumble down. Refugees and fantasies go underground.
Romance lasts forever, love don't fade away.
They may take our future but they can't stop yesterday.
Cause somewhere in the cloudy skies of Paris, we were part of some artist's design.
Dearest Esmerelda, you are magic. In the gray around me how you shine, oh, how you shine.

John Denver Dearest Esmerelda Comments
Probably my favorite of the lesser known John Denver songs. Unique and beautiful words!
Unfortunately radio stations seem to think John Denver only did two songs: Rocky Mountain High and Take Me Home, Country Roads. It's only after listening to gems like this song that the depth of John's talent becomes apparent. Songs like this one, Shipmates and Cheyenne, Singing Skies and Dancing Waters (off the same album as Dearest Esmeralda, incidentally) are among some of my all-time favorites and illustrate just how deep John's spirituality was. His talent spanned many musical genres, so much so that confining his music into a single category is hard. He is a truly underrated performer that doesn't get the credit he deserves. His guitar skills and voice were amazing. His humanitarian efforts and the legacy he left behind as a crusader for the natural world make him one of the most influential people of the 20th century. He is truly missed.
I absolutely agree with you.
Very well said Bsteinagel....very well said!!!

Dearest Esmeralda, in another age
Antiques would be modern, we would be the rage
Silk would be in fashion, we would dress in lace
Love would be the passion and the saving grace
I slept one rainy night with you in Paris
Made up for a thousand wasted years
Dearest Esmeralda, you are magic
I close my eyes and you make love appear
Dancing in the shimmer of a crystal chandelier
Shadows singing so low only we could hear
Moving to the glimmer, shaking to the storm
Outside it was raging, but inside it was warm
We said goodnight in the candlelight and thunder
Now I wake and find you're never there
I'm becoming old enough to wonder
Happy that I'm still too young to care
Masterpieces crumble, empires tumble down
Refugees and fantasies go underground
Romance lasts forever, love don't fade away
They may take our future, but they don't stop yesterday
Cause somewhere in the cloudy skies of Paris
we were part of some artist's design
Dearest Esmeralda, you are magic
In the gray around me how you shine
Oh oh, how you shine
One of my favorites.
