Why is it such a simply lovely song as this can make one so emotional?I come back to it every year and it still has the same effect on me..its not just because John sang it,and yes I was a big fan of his,and I enjoy his other Christmas songs but not in the same way.Could it be the fact that cowboys have to work(like many others in various jobs)but they are happy with their lot and enjoy the work and being as one with nature.I do hope so.Christmas is way over commercialised IMHO. Happy Christmas
Truly are great Christmas song; a song that can bring tears to one's eyes. And credit must be given to John for his wonderful version and the man that wrote it -Steve Weisberg. For those that LOVE this song, send Steve a note and let him know. That's just what I did.
Oh my God, thank you so much for posting this. I grew up on a farm in Idaho. My dad always played this album. I love it so much. Your video just captures it. Thank you and God Bless You!!
This song was written by John Denver's guitar player, Steve Weisberg and credit should be also be given to him for writing a such a touching song for the holiday season.
Always loved this song, sang it many a time while out on my horse on a cold winter day, you don't mind the cold so much when it's Christmas time. John' angelic voice makes it that much better.
I listen to this song whenever I've had a rough day and just need to let my mind relax and take me some place where there isn't any death and hatred. John Denvers music does that for me. I miss him and his simple but full filling songs.
You are very welcome.. I tried to find the version you mentioned .. is it on youtube? Had a listen to a few other songs they sang and all were very beautiful.
I so agree. I've always loved this song written by Steve Weisberg. Any version of this song is great, but the original on the "Rocky Mountain Christmas" album can't be beat!
Nice job on this music video! The visuals give a clear example of what John Denver is singing. It seems such a drag to celebrate Christmas so simple like this, but if rural landsmen are happy keeping it that way, that's all that matters.
Hi I thought at first you left a nasty comment and was about to delete it.... but then I read it a few times more and I see it has deeper meaning. Big hug from Ireland. :-)
No need for apology my friend I live in the real world!! Disappointment is what I picked up from your verse.. an image of a tearful little boy on Christmas morning ...You have talent writing poetry.
I think this song is beautiful. It gives you an idea of what it is like for a cowboy. Cowboys are out there on the range, they are a part of America. This just brings a piece of America home. John Denver had some of the sweetest songs, and this is one of them!
Jhon Denver was a great man I had never seen him in concert. If I remember correctly he was from somewhere in West Virginia not to far from my summer home place in the good ol' West Virgina Mountains. I have always loved this Christmas song. Merry Christmas wishes from NC
I just went to a tribute concert for John Denver! I am so much a fan of him, I so wish I could have seen a real concert of his. John Denver all the way!!! !YEEHAW I love this song ;)
I love this song! John Denver is my absolute favorite singer; His song is perfect for where I live, Alaska; there is beautiful mountains and tons of snow; I also love horses. Thanks for posting! I have beautiful memories of this song; my mother and I listened to it our First Christmas in ALaska. God Bless; Merry Christmas!
Que Dios te tenga en su Gloria, siempre estaras en nuestros corazones y pensamientos. Gracias por haber disfrutado de tu maravillosa voz y tus melodias que perduraran en la eternidad.
Hope you folks had a Great New Year... RIP John, we miss you... from the home of the Daddy of em All...
