Story Behind The Song

John Denver orginally wrote this song as a love song for a girl named Bobbie early in his writing career ~ I used to sing it to my two little boys (Bobby & Michael) at bedtime before they went to sleep adding a few sound effects which I have done here ~

Lyrics

FOR BABY-FOR BOBBIE (song for Bobby)

I'll walk in the rain by your side
I'll cling to the warmth of your tiny hand
I'll do anything to help you understand
I'll love you more than anybody can

And the wind will whisper your name to me (Bobby)
Little birds will sing along in time
The leaves will bow down when you walk by
And morning bells will chime

I'll be there when you're feeling down
To kiss away the tears if you cry
I'll share with you all the happiness I've found
A reflection of the love in your eyes

And I'll sing you the songs of the rainbow
A whisper of the joy that is mine
And leaves will bow down when you walk by
And morning bells will chime

I'll do anything to help you understand
I'll love you more than anybody can

And the wind will whisper your name to me (Bobby)
Little birds will sing along in time
The leaves will bow down when you walk by
And morning bells will chime

Ding dong - ding dong - ding dong
I love you...
