"Like a Sad Song" is a song written and performed by the American singer-songwriter John Denver, released as a single from his 1976 album, Spirit. Although it only reached No.36 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, "Like a Sad Song" became Denver's eighth single to reach No.1 on the easy listening chart within the span of three years.
Cash Box said that "Denver handles the ballad on acoustic guitar with sensitive string backing."[1] Record World called it "a soft spoken love song" in which "[Denver's] vocal grabs your attention and holds on until the song's end."[2]
