Down By The River Lyrics

In a sparkling moment, I loved you, you loved me
Oh, how sweet fate can be
In that happy moment, I forgot all my past
Now I realize the way the spell was cast, at last

Once we walked alone, down by the river
All the world our own, down by the river

Maybe the river made our love song start
Full was the river, yet more full, my heart
So I love you two, you and the river
I'll be there for you

I and the river, you will remember
When you hear my song
Down where the river rolls along

So I love you two, you and the river
I'll be there for you

I and the river, you will remember
When you hear my song
Down where the river rolls along
