About the song
“Annie’s Song” is a timeless ballad that has captured the hearts of music lovers for generations. Written and recorded by the legendary John Denver, this beautiful song was released as the lead single from his eighth studio album, Back Home Again, in 1974. The song’s gentle melody and poignant lyrics have made it a beloved classic, and its impact on the music world is still felt today.
“Annie’s Song” was a massive commercial success, reaching number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and staying there for two weeks in July 1974. It also topped the Easy Listening chart, cementing its place as one of John Denver’s most iconic songs. Billboard ranked it as the No. 25 song of 1974, a testament to its enduring popularity.
But “Annie’s Song” didn’t stop there. It also reached number one in the United Kingdom, where it became John Denver’s only major hit single. This was a significant achievement, as the UK market was notoriously tough to crack for American artists at the time. The song’s success in the UK was a major milestone in John Denver’s career, and it helped to establish him as a global superstar.
Interestingly, “Annie’s Song” also had a second life in the UK, when an instrumental version of the song became a hit for flautist James Galway in 1978. This was Galway’s only major British hit, and it’s a testament to the song’s timeless appeal that it could be reimagined and reinterpreted in such a way.
Throughout its history, “Annie’s Song” has been a source of comfort, inspiration, and romance for listeners of all ages. Its themes of love, devotion, and the beauty of the human connection continue to resonate with audiences today. As a cultural icon, “Annie’s Song” is a reminder of the power of music to bring people together and transcend time and place.

Lyrics
Tal vez en una sola frase pueda resumirles
Lo que se siente estando aquí
Mil gracias, mil gracias
Fue un momento sereno
Desprendido del tiempo
Tu mirada de fuego
Encendida en mi mal
Me estabas frenando
Por dentro y por fuera
Y tu primavera
Me hacía temblar
Fue en un cielo lejano
Una tierra caliente
Un soplo de viento
Una lluvia de abril
Un nuevo vestido
Que envuelve y que besa
Que acaricia y no pesa
Y te deja fingir
Medianoche en mi mente
Desde todos los siglos
Mediodía en tu alma
Que brindaba calor
Y una casa infinita
Y un pedazo de gloria
Así fue nuestra historia
Así fue nuestro amor
Y una música blanca
Que volaba en la arena
Y un volcán en las venas
De placer y dolor
Y una casa infinita
Y un pedazo de gloria
Así fue nuestra historia
Así fue nuestro amor
