My love is like a river,
She just keeps on rolling along


No man ever can keep that girl
From moving on
Easy as she comes by,

Easy as she's gone

Get down, real down,

Crying how I love that girl,
She's as free as heaven on a breeze


Lay my burden down,
Down by the river's edge,
There I learned to let my lover be

And don't you know I'd hold you (hold you, oh yeah)
If I could find a way, (oh yeah, oh yeah)
If I could only catch you, (oooh, catch you, oh yeah)

If only you would stay. (stay, stay)

And don't you know I want you, (want you, want you)

Baby, baby, baby, baby, stay (stay, yeah)
If I could only love you, (love me)
But girl you keep on

Running away (x3)
Oh oh no no (yeah)


My love is like a river.
