Shari Ulrich - Watching the River Run lyrics

On summer nights when the moon is full The warm wind's sigh...I remember it still The path we'd walk to the river's edge The way my father's eyes spoke when nothing was said And I'd take his hand And as we walked I'd understand That we'd just sit there Watching the river run All our dreams were there Every secret that we shared In the setting summer sun Watching the river run Seasons came and so did love We spent our days on the banks by the bluff Kisses cool as the water's touch We lay down with our promises, secrets and trust Side by side The sound of the water rushing by

We'd just lay there Watching the river run All our dreams were there Every secret that we shared In the setting summer sun Watching the river run The tangled web and the day by day We soon forget what we lost on the way Well I go back, take my child's hand Walk that path to the river and sit in the sand With her by my side The sound of the water rushing by We'll just sit there Watching the river run All our dreams are there Every secret that we share In the setting summer sun Watching the river run Watching the river run
