My Sweet Lady Lyrics

Cover art for My Sweet Lady lyrics by John Denver

I sang this song as a solo in Choir when I was a teenager. My vocal teacher told me that the song was about a man staying by his wife's side through a battle with cancer. He wanted to assure her that she was going to live and that he would never leave her.

Song Meaning

There was a movie with this song with a woman laying in bed dying of cancer, but I can't remember the name of the song, such a long time ago. Maybe someone out there can help us out, please
