These comparisons suggest that her love is as powerful and awe-inspiring as the forces of nature.

- The lyrics convey a sense of spiritual connection and unity, with phrases like "you fill up my senses" suggesting that Annie’s love fills every aspect of Denver’s being. This all-encompassing love reflects a deep emotional and soulful bond.
- The song’s simple, poetic structure makes it universally relatable. While it was inspired by Denver’s personal experiences, its themes of love, gratitude, and appreciation are universal, resonating with listeners from all walks of life.

nightclub out there and Annie was feeling kind of poorly and i started getting worried about her you know and asked if she wanted to go home no she didn't want to and so the evening progressed and finally she did feel bad enough that we took her home and as she kept getting worse and worse and you know this we've been married like two or three days and i was getting very concerned we went by the hospital i said now listen kid you want me to take you in and she says no no so we went on we got to uh we got to the trailer and uh went to bed and she couldn't even undress she couldn't lie down you know and i was i said okay
