Life Is a River
As I went out walking on a fine Summers day
- As I went out walking on a fine Summers day
- Through hills and the valleys I soon lost my way
- 'Til I came to an old man kneeling down by a stream
- Gazing into the water like he was lost in a dream
- In his hand was a picture he clung to for life
- His eyes filled with tears as he tried not to cry
- Then he looked to the heaven's and started to pray
- In the quiet country silence I could hear the man say
- Life is a river I'll go with the flow
- And where it will take me the Lord only knows
- I'll miss you sweetheart your kindness and love
- But I know one day we'll sail away on God's ocean above
- He said now young man your a stranger to me
- Could I bother you kindly for your company
- Today I am thinking of a time long ago
- And I need to tell someone of a girl I loved so
- It's forty-two years today since rose took my hand
- And proudly I lived life her husband her man
- 'Til only last week son God took her away
- As I kissed her softly these words she did say
- Life is a river I'll go with the flow
- And where it will take me the Lord only knows
- I miss you sweetheart your kindness and love
- But I know one day we'll sail away on God's ocean above
- And with that the old man sent me on my way
- And sat by the water I'll kneel for the day
- I look at the river starting out on it's life
- It's where I feel close to my beautiful wife
