When the River Meets the Sea- John Denver

I remember listening to this on the album "A Christmas Together" that John Denver did with Muppets since I was very young. It has been a Christmas tradition.
I liked listening to this song for a long time I though I was not old enough to know or understand the words. I hope you enjoy this music video.

The saddest and happiest song. It made my heart break and soar at the same time. God love bless and keep you all!

A beautiful couple married for 70 years passed away recently from covid. The passed within minutes of each other holding hands as their daughter said walking into heaven's gates with each other. This song was playing at the time of their passing like her father wanted. So beautiful! My Condolences To The Meek Family! Much Love.

I had my daughter and her friends sing this song at my sons funeral. I thought it was so fitting

I just read the story of Dick and Shirley Meek. They were a couple that was married for 70 years who died side by side minutes apart from Covid. It touched me. I can relate to their story due to me losing a friend of my own from Covid. I also have a relative and coworkers that currently has Covid. Dick Meek wanted this song to be played after he was gone. Beautiful song. Moment of silence for all of us who have lost loved ones/friends to Covid. I love all of you and stay safe!! 🙏

Very nice video. This is the song we had played at my stillborn daugher's funeral five years ago. Such a beautiful song.

This was written by Paul Williams, for the Jim Henson HBO special "Emmet Otter's Jugband Christmas," and later recorded by John Denver and the Muppets for a Christmas album. Beautiful song.

This may be my favorite song from this album. I've had it on tape until a few years ago when we finally replaced it with the cd. I was so disappointed when this song was cut off the cd! Thanks for posting this!

Heard the story of Dick and Shirley Meek on (NPR) they died within a few minutes of each other ❤️. One should be so lucky in this life and onto the next.

The song starts with the voice of Jerry Juhl. One of the original muppeteers.

That last picture looked like the sea from Pinocchio where they almost got killed by monstro the whale.
