come with me down to the river
letīs sit a while by the stream
watch the time go passing by
and disappear into a dream
lie with me down by the river
letīs watch the world fall asleep
listen to the lullabye
the shepherd is watching his sheep
sit with me close to the river
talk to me without a word
do you hear it whispering
best music you ever heard
let us grow old by the river
learn from its magical grace
the same though ever changing
as were our sweet childhood days
