Lyrics

5. The River Rolls On
We’ve been floating this river since our first hello / When the water was calm and the changes slow / We chased our dreams, short nights, and bedtime stories Reality came and the river rolls on

Chorus: The river rolls on just like our love / Over waterfalls and down the rapids / Wherever it goes, we’re there together / Where we’ve never been, floating to the end

Summers passed and children grew From cries to cars; no time for you
Is life just hard or is this the winter? Where has love gone? And the river rolls on Chorus

You hold me close; I can feel you breathing / When the river runs rough, tell me what you’re feeling / Do you dream of me; do you dream of leaving Or of our first hello? And the river rolls on Chorus

Morning comes, your blue eyes greet me Like springtime flowers and a friend who needs me / We go tumbling, rumbling, splashing, laughing, dancing What a ride with you & the river rolls on Chorus
