John Denver - I'm Sorry Lyrics






It's cold here in the city, it always seems that way,
and I've been thinking about you almost every day.
Thinking about the good times, thinking about the rain.
Thinking about how bad it feels alone again.
I'm sorry for the way things are in China, I'm sorry things ain't what they used to be.
More than anything else, I'm sorry for myself cause you're not here with me.

Our friends all ask about you, I say you're doing fine. I expect to hear from you almost anytime.
They all know I'm crying, and I can't sleep at night. They all know I'm dying down deep inside.
I'm sorry for all the lies I told you, I'm sorry for the things I didn't say.
But more than anything else, I'm sorry for myself. I can't believe you went away.

I'm sorry if I took some things for granted, I'm sorry for the chains I put on you.
But more than anything else, I'm sorry for myself for living without you.

    The fact that you are glad he's gone because of political views is messed up.

    John Denver telling the world of his sorrow over losing beautiful Annie. Hind sight is always 20/20. And no matter what anyone thinks of him, we all have a bit of that 20/20 hindsight going on.

    I'm sorry John Denver's life ended so early

    Love this song the only thing is it brings tears it BBC reaks my heart

  22. c.... ....

    way way back in my youth, I sang this song most nights one summer; I missed that one very special girl so much i couldnt even say hello to friends or family. I was sorry, beyond tears and the hurt. I was even sorry I may have caused her to be sorry too. You gotta go on, I am sorry to share this personal memory that I dont want.

  23. A.... W....

    For you Jeneene I am So. Sorry For Hurting you so Bad I am Dying an Miss you So Much Babe I Will Love you to my last Breath

  59. T.... F....

    ... You are not supposed to go away when i tell you to. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️😢💙

  60. V.... H....

    Please don't get me wrong.  I love this song.  This is probably one of the most sad admission of I don't know what I did to make you feel that way, that has ever been written. I don't know what I did but I'm sorry, please come back. Oh by the way "I'm sorry for all the lies I told you. I'm sorry for the things I didn't say.  More than anything else, I'm sorry for myself, can't believe you went away."  "I'm sorry if I took some things for granted. I'm sorry for the things I put on you. More than anything else I'm sorry for myself, living without you."   It is all in the lyrics.

  61. G.... H....

    This song is deeply moving. It's a song that could have meaning to every single one of us....we are all fallible human beings.

  62. C.... B....

    I, picture him in heaven. With God saying - That was beautiful ! Sing another one !

  90. G.... M....

    My very good friend is one of the lawyers who sued the aircraft company on behalf of John Denver's estate after his crash. No amount money could bring that great man back to us and his legacy will far outlive most all of us.

  91. G.... E....

    Still listen to John Denver,  his songs nd his wonderful voice...Love...Love....7/10/19

  92. S.... S....

    Make me cry😭😭😭

  93. L.... F....

    I'm sorry, Jon

    L.... F....

    LOL IK SOMEONE WOULD MENTION THAT

  94. J.... A....

    I feel like he is sitting in the same room with me when he sings. He had such a warm voice.

  95. M.... T....

    After defeating the all mighty Garfield and breaking the final time loop, Jon has found himself transported back in time. Emotionally traumatised, Jon decided to change his identity and take on a life of music, most of which have an homage to his feelings and experiences in that hellish loophole.

  96. J.... K....

    It's cold here in the city............

  97. s.... m....

    The 70s were a great decade for music...defined by Jim Croce, The Bee Gees, America and John Denver. There were others of course, but having come out of the 60s with all the peace and make love not war songs, Denver's songs were gentler and less in your face.

    All these years later, I have a much greater appreciation for his music.

  98. G.... E....

    Awwwwwwww…...so nice.....love John Denver   7/21 19
