I was born on
the path of the winter winds,
raised where the mountains are old.
The springtime waters
came dancing down
And I remember the tales they told
The whistling waves of
my younger days
Too quickly have faded on by
And all of their memories linger on
Like a light in a faded sky
River, take me along in your sunshine
Sing me a song, every mo ment
Unwinding, I'm free
You're rolling, oh river
You're changing, oh river
Let's you and me river
run down to the sea
Well I've been to the city
and I've been back again
I've been moved by some
things that I've learned
I've met a lot of good people
and I call them friends
Felt the change when the seasons turned
I heard all the songs that
the children sing
And I've listened to love's melodies
I felt my own music within me rise
Like the wind in the autumn trees
River, take me along in your sunshine
Sing me a song,
every movement
Unwinding and free
You're rolling, river
You're changing, oh river
Lets you and me, river
Run down to the sea
Some day when the flowers
are blooming still
Someday when the grass is still green
The rolling waters will round the bend
And flow into the open sea
So here's to the rainbow
that's followed me here
And here's to the friends that I know
And here's to the song
that's within me now
I will sing where 'er I go
River, take me along in your sunshine
Sing me a song every mo ment
and winding and free.
You're rolling, river,
you're changing, river.
Let's you and me, river,
run down to the sea.
River, take me along in your sunshine,
sing me a song every mo ment,
unwinded and free.
You roll in, oh river,
you change in, oh river,
lets you and me, river,
run down to the sea.
Thank
