As I went out walking on a fine summer day |
| [00:16.367] |
Through hills and the valleys, I soon lost my way |
| [00:25.264] |
Till I came to an old man kneeling down by a stream |
| [00:33.960] |
Gazing into the water like he was lost in a dream |
| [00:42.849] |
In his hand was a picture he clung to for life |
| [00:51.541] |
His eyes filled with tears as he tried not to cry |
| [01:00.550] |
Then he looked to the heavens and started to pray |
| [01:08.917] |
In the quiet country silence, I could hear the man say |
| [01:17.951] |
Life is a river; I'll go with the flow |
| [01:26.625] |
And where it will take me, the Lord only knows |
| [01:35.676] |
I miss you, sweetheart, your kindness and love |
| [01:44.306] |
But I know one day we'll sail away on God's ocean above |
| [01:53.575] |
He said, Now, young man, you're a stranger to me |
| [02:01.721] |
Could I bother you kindly for your company |
| [02:10.638] |
Today I am thinking of a time long ago |
| [02:19.500] |
And I need to tell someone of a girl I loved so |
| [02:28.246] |
It's forty-two years today since Rose took my hand |
| [02:36.938] |
And proudly I lived life, her husband, her man |
| [02:45.701] |
Till only last week, son, God took her away |
| [02:54.448] |
As I kissed her softly, these words she did say |
| [03:03.456] |
Life is a river; I'll go with the flow |
| [03:12.048] |
And where it will take me, the Lord only knows |
| [03:21.100] |
I miss you, sweetheart, your kindness and love |
| [03:29.746] |
But I know one day we'll sail away on God's ocean above |
| [03:38.604] |
And with that the old man sent me on my way |
| [03:47.160] |
And sat by the water; I'll kneel for the day |
| [03:56.009] |
I look at the river starting out on its life |
| [04:05.788] |
It's where I've been close to my beautiful wife |
