It was far away and long ago when you and I first met
The way our passion flowed like melting snow - I never will forget
We were young and strong and fancy-free - it felt so good it seemed
That the River of Love was carrying us like an answer to our dreams

Now, memories are pretty good for making songs, I guess
But what it takes to make a life is a different kind of test
And I need a drink from the River of Love
Yeah, I need a drink from the River of Love


Is it all the jobs we had to work that never made ends meet?
Is it all the words we never spoke while we were drifting off to sleep?
We got so caught up in what it takes to make it day to day
That we never saw that the River of Love had almost drained away

The pieces just don?t seem to fit, though Heaven knows we?ve tried
Somewhere we lost track of things that money just can't buy

CHORUS:
And I need a drink from the River of Love
I need a drink from the River of Love
I need a drink from the River of Love - but the river's running dry

We?ve got to find a way to turn it around and let the sun come shining through
We?ve got to be strong enough to let the River of Love wash away these bad-luck blues
No matter how hard it seems, my dear, we?ve got to keep our hope alive
It only takes one drink from the River of Love to make our spirits fly


I need a drink from the River of Love - I need a drink from the River of Love
I need a drink from the River of Love - but the river's running dry
Yeah, I need a drink from the River of Love - I need a drink from the River of Love
I need a drink from the River of Love ? please give it one more try
