John Denver - Whose Garden Was This? Lyrics






Whose garden was this? It must have been lovely. Did it have flowers?
I've seen pictures of flowers, and I'd love to have smelled one.
Whose river was this? You say it ran freely. Blue was it's color.
I've seen blue in some pictures, and I'd love to have been there.

Tell me again I need to know. The forest had trees, the meadows were green.
The oceans were blue and birds really flew. Can you swear that it's true?

Whose gray sky was this? Or was it a blue one? You say there were breezes.
I've heard records of breezes and I'd love to have felt one.

Tell me again I need to know. The forest had trees, the meadows were green.
The oceans were blue and birds really flew. Can you swear that it's true?

Whose garden was this? It must have been lovely. Did it have flowers?
I've seen pictures of flowers, and I'd love to have smelled one.
Tell me again I need to know, tell me again I need to know.
Tell me again I need to know, tell me again I need to know.

    Reminder that capitalism is the name of the human force that destroys the environment currently in the real world, ok peace 🐱

    This song is great. Make sure you answer your calling to know Jesus Christ, who removed the barrier between God & man, so that whosoever believes on/ receives Him (Jesus) as their savior, SHALL receive eternal life, which can ONLY be given by God, who gives it freely to "whosoever believes on Jesus for eternal life & salvation".



    There is no destruction in our Creator's paradise, and no more suffering or bloodshed or anguish. But, He DOES insist that everyone, who shall enter therein, must desire to be with their Creator in His New Kingdom forever. Eternity is much too long to spend it with those who gnaw & hate.

    I had this album in the 70s until my baby boy decided to have a little play with the turntable whilst it was playing. Love this album. So I will never forget John Denver. Beautiful voice.

    we (humans) make me so damned sad ..

    It will.... just as soon as we're gone. And who would miss us, once gone?

  15. D.... M....

    Memories both good and bad

  16. J.... C....

    Best version was sung by Mel Torme .

    J.... C....

    I don't know - I heard it on the radio a number of times and saw/heard him sing it on a TV show but it was long ago.

    J.... C....

    Nope. It was the title track to his third album, released in 1970.

    J.... C....

    Right, that is John Denver's version. Mel Torme's was a single and I have seen the 45 on Ebay. I don't know if it was ever on one of his albums.

  17. j.... P....

    my favorite John Denver song

  18. F.... S....

    indeed whose garden

  19. J.... V....

    Beautiful

  20. t.... ....

    Post apocalyptic vision that is not far from the reality of some time in the future if we carry on raping the Earth. The saddest of songs.

    t.... ....

    Very well put. 

    t.... ....

    Are you John Denver? ???

  21. X.... ....

    This song is from an album released in Japan by the same name. Or at least that's where I got it from. I enjoy this version than the original. Sounds more passionate

  22. W.... W....

    I'm so glad there are still songs out there by the most amazing folk singer of all time I still haven't heard. Thanks a lot.

  23. d.... ....

    A beautiful song about what we're going to lose if we don't do something about pollution and war. Tom Paxton was ahead of his time with this one. Very well done by John. I miss his music so much. I think his songs will be loved forever. Rest in peace, sweet minstrel.

  24. V.... V....

    Just so wonderful. I have never heard it before!

    V.... V....

    Veronica Vale I loved it. Was just thinking about it, last night, for some reason.

  25. J.... H....

    This was written by Tom Paxton, and is good but JD sings a much better version

  26. d.... t....

    such a lovely song. johns voice is beyond compare.

    d.... t....

    If you reply I'll be amazed

  27. h.... ....

    thanks for posting .this is not a well known song even though it was performed a lot when it was released...I rarely see a pristine location without thinking of this song..and hoping I'll be able to visit it forever
