Denver, John - Ripplin' Waters Lyrics
I've got rippling waters to wake me to the morning my woman in love,
tall pine trees are pointing us easily to heaven above.
Blue spruce flaming on the grate in the evening, takes the chill away fine,
cut the telephone line, the story's the same.
There's a worn red chair by the window that she found at a sale down the way,
People like pulling out the stuffing when they sit down, so it passes the time,
cut the telephone line, the story's the same.
Ooh, like a bubble on a windy day start to flutter when I hear you say,
That you feel too good to go away and you make me feel fine.
And you made the world a warmer place, by the sparkle of your diamond face.
On a gray spot, put a little lace and you make me feel fine,
warm as a mountain sunshine, on the edge of a snowline, in a meadow of columbine.
Oh, little Jennifer, I'd give a penny for what you've got on your mind,
Maybe in your vision you see how our mission is, slightly less than defined,
Cut the telephone line, the story's the same.
Now rippling waters flow through the ceiling and the walls and they're keeping me warm
and the closest I've been to my family for days is my music.
But to silently stare in the morning sky is like hearing her calling my name,
cut the telephone line, the story's the same.
Ooh, like a bubble on a windy day start to flutter when I hear you say,
That you feel too good to go away and you make me feel fine.
warm as a mountain sunshine, on the edge of a snowline, in a meadow of columbine.

I miss John Denver!
Isn't this song beautiful -- I was lying on a lawnchair last week on a 50 degree day with snow still all around. I could hear the water rushing off the roof of the house and all I could think of was Rippling Waters. Had to put it on. Takes me back 40 years to being a kid :)
cut the telephone line!
Lovely song with nice tempo
Nice job catbrush...and your video was the perfect touch to a really great Denver track. Thank you!!
I'm so glad I found this!
My favorite song of John's. it is whimsical and sweet and I love everything about this song.
Well,John Denver does everything fine,but thank the wonderful Nitty Gritty Dirt Band for this gem!!!!! Sincerely,BobbyK
Jimmy Ibbotson of The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band wrote it. The place he wrote of is real... beautiful song, John does it justice...
Love...Love...Love....John Denver...The voice...I miss you so much..

When I first heard this, I thought it was an original. He made this one his own, I think. I put the original NGDB version and this one in my Denver playlist. Thanks for the upload!
Heard this on TV for the first time this morning. What a beautiful version. I think John would have enjoyed the video too
"On the edge of a snowline,
in a meadow of columbine."
How peaceful.
This is one of my favorite songs from his CD "I Want to Live". I love the accompanying video. It's nice. Richard, Louisville, KY
@Richard Woolley Thank you Richard. :)
