I'm Sorry (John Denver song)

"I'm Sorry" is a song written and recorded by American country-folk singer-songwriter John Denver and released in 1975. It was the final number-one pop hit released during his career. The flip side of "I'm Sorry" was "Calypso", and, like its A-side, enjoyed substantial radio airplay on Top 40 stations.

"I'm Sorry" is an apology for forsaken love. In the lyrics, the singer's love interest has left him and he's still broken up about it weeks later. Even though he tells them he's doing fine, their mutual friends know he's not. The singer confesses "I can't believe you went away." Cash Box said it "is replete with the classic Denver touches: sweet arrangement by Lee Holdridge, and emotive lyrics."
