Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like a night in the forest
Like the mountains in springtime
Like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses
Come let me love you
Let me give my life to you
Let me drown in your laughter
Let me die in your arms
Let me lay down beside you
Let me always be with you
Come let me love you
Come love me again
Let me give my life to you
Come let me love you
Come love me again
You fill up my senses
Like a night in the forest
Like the mountains in springtime
Like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses
Come fill me again
Denver John's song "Annie's Song" is a heartfelt tribute from a man to his loved one, expressing his feelings of happiness and completeness in her presence. The lyrics in the first verse describe how his senses are filled up by his lover's presence. He compares her to various natural wonders such as a night in the forest, mountains in springtime, and a walk in the rain, indicating the immense joy and satisfaction his lover brings to him. The second verse is more of a declaration of his love and devotion to her. He requests her to accept his love as he gives his life to her, for her to laugh and cry with him, to be with him always, and for her love to fill him up once more.

It's those little, yet profound memories that they cherish, laying in the folds of their hearts are often their driving force to live. Everyone of us have these kinda memories..
I feel overwhelmed whenever I get these memories revoked by songs like these..
Love is Precious, Which is Why it's hard to find..
When One feels it's about time to leave this love in a relationship,
It often leaves you heartbroken 💔.. Yet,We don't have to mourn or lament over the lost love, but relish in nursing that pain..
Make it the driving force of your life..
I think that will change the perspective we look at world.. It makes us more empathetic eventually.. Makes us treat others with love n kindness..
Donno why I felt like sharing this little of stuf that's running across my mind.. Sorry for my rant.. Ok, now bye 👋

In 1974 I was 17 years old. There was this little 14 year old red haired girl at my Church. I asked her one day what her favorite song was. She said, "Annie's Song." Years later, at our wedding dance, I asked the band to play it for her. After many years of filling up my senses, she was taken to Heaven in August 2011. I miss you, Diane, and I will be with you whenever the Lord calls me home.
