Lyrics
MEET ME BY THE RIVER
OUR FIRST KISS ON THE RIVER BANK
I CAN FEEL YOUR LIPS PRESSING AGAINST MINE
THE WAY MY HEART WAS POUNDING
AS YOU LAY WITH ME YOUR HEAD UPON MY LAP
THAT WAS HE FIRST TIME
I EVER FELT LIFES PASSION
THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME
I EVER FELT TRUE LOVE
I CAN KNOW LONGER TOUCH YOU
A GIFT TAKEN AWAY
BUT I CAN STILL COME TO THE RIVER BANK
AND DREAM OF THAT DAY
CHORUS:
MEET ME BY THE RIVER
MEET ME BY THE RIVER WON'T YOU
MEET ME BY THE RIVER
LET ME LOVE YOU ONE MORE TIME
I'M LONELY WITHOUT YOU
NO ONE SAID LIFE WAS EASY
NOW I KNOW THIS TO BE TRUE
I'M LONGING FOR YOUR TOUCH
MY HEART SEARCHES FOR YOUR LOVE
I CRY IN THE NIGHT
THINKING ABOUT THE FIRST TIME
I EVER FELT LIFE'S PASSION
THINKING ABOUT THE FIRST TIME
I EVER FELT TRUE LOVE
I CAN KNOW LONGER TOUCH YOU
A GIFT TAKEN AWAY
BUT I CAN STILL COME TO THE RIVER BANK
AND DREAM OF THAT DAY
BRIDGE:
I'M WAITING UNDER THE WHITE PINE TREE
THAT SHELTERED US FROM THE SUN
AND THEN I SEE YOUR REFLECTION
IN THE SHENANDOAH RIVER
