Thank you so much for this Michael. High Flight was my Dad's favorite poem, and recited at his funeral. This clip means more to me than you'll ever know!

Oh John, you left us way too soon. This is one of my all time favorites. Soar on John, you are not forgotten.

Who has watched a launch, A million pounds of fiery thrust, Repelling a spacecraft to the stars, And not held their breath, As the heart accelerates within, Along with the brave hearts within the ship, As we touch with our souls, What our fingers cannot feel, For alone in space, They are joined by the souls of millions, And we can see the truth of reality, Understanding more why we are here, As possibility is only limited, By the scope of imagination, For alone in our lives, We are never alone.

@drepiz

and dreams we carry and think our own

are shared by others never known

For such is our world of thought

For all in millions must repeat

Or else our lives count for nought

And that I cannot meet

I truely cryed so hard with this vision of John singing. He looked to have the light of God shining upon him. I'm sure it is now anyways. Thanks for this share.

Greetings from Texas. Thank you, thank you, thank you for all these videos.

[michaeldonegan]

It is always a pleasure. I have been a fan of John Denver for more than 35 years.

He is really missed!

[maryg46]

So ironic! He sings often of flying and it was the thing that ultimately kiiled him. I miss you JD so much! What a loss for humanity.

[dwindstar57]

What a great video! I don't think any singer I've ever heard puts as much emotion into the music as much as he does with all his songs. May his spirit continue to soar!!! I miss him so much even though I know he is with all who love him. Thanks for posting this clip.

[michaeldonegan]

Thank you too.

[dwindstar57]
