My Sweet Lady / John Denver

 

 

 

John Denver가 전성기를 구가하던 '70년대는 "The voice of America"로 통했고,

매우 소박하고 순진한 가사로 컨트리 송을 전세계적인 음악장르로 승화시킨

장본인이기도 하다.

 

그의 장례식에 참석한 클린턴 대통령도 그에 대해

"He soared up into the sky" 라고 표현하기도 하였다...

 

사회운동가로 활약하며 기아퇴치, 세계평화, 환경보호 등에 매진하기도 하였다.

셀 수 없는 많은 히트곡으로 그의 음악은 지금도 애창되고 있다...

 

 

My Sweet Lady

 

 

 

Lady, are you crying,
do the tears belong to me
Did you think our time
together was all gone
Lady, you’ve been dreaming,
I’m as close as I can be
I swear to you our time has just begun

Close your eyes and rest your weary mind
I promise I will stay right here beside you
Today our lives were joined,
became entwined
I wish you could know
how much I love you

Lady, are you happy,
do you feel the way I do
Are there meanings
that you’ve never seen before
Lady, my sweet lady,
I just can’t believe it’s true
And it’s like I’ve never ever loved before

Close your eyes and rest your weary mind
I promise I will stay right here beside you
Today our lives were joined, became entwined
I wish you could know how much I love you

Lady, are you crying, do the tears belong to me
Did you think our time together was all gone
Lady, my sweet lady, I’m as close as I can be
I swear to you our time has just begun
