Lyrics
RIVER OF REGRET
Sometimes unexpectedly an old movie gets to me
When a love lost comes home again
Guess something I buried long ago
That haunts my heart comes rushin' in
I get all misty eyed
And there's nothin' I can do
When that old river of regret
Flows from this heart that misses you
Every now and then I think I hear your voice
Catching my breath I turn to find
Only strangers in a crowded room
And some distant echo in my mind
I close my eyes and then
Behind a memory or two
That old river of regret
Flows from this heart that misses you
Time doesn't alway heal
Some heartaches come to stay
They just hang around, never make a sound
Then somewhere, someday
Tears start fallin' down
It doesn't help to say I'm sorry that you're gone
No words I know can bring you back
Just when I think I've lost all thoughts of you
There's a part of me still keepin' track
Then something I'll remember
Paints my day a shade of blue
And that old river of regret
Flows from this heart that misses you
Yeah, that old river of regret
Flows from this heart that misses you
