River Of Love

River Of Love
by Harry Chapin
© Chapin Music (ASCAP)

Picture a woman, picture a man
She looks at him, he at her – they understand.
And their hearts go boom, boom, boom
Like a holiday
And just like this, just like that they’re swept away

By the river of love and the river of dreams
That carries our hopes and our hearts downstream
To the ocean below while the moon above
Waits for the tide and the strong wide
River of love

And here comes a child or two or three
So young, so loud, so proud it’s a family
And the children go boom, boom, boom
Until one day
Just like this, just like that they’re swept away

By the river of love and the river of dreams
That carries our hopes and our hearts downstream
To the ocean below while the moon above
Waits for the tide and the strong wide
River of love

La la la la la, La la la la la
La la la la la, La la la la la

And sweet mother earth and old father time
Stand by strong and silent for the long hard climb
While our lives go boom, boom, boom
Until one day
Just like this, just like that we’re swept away.

By the river of love and the river of dreams
That carries our hopes and our hearts downstream
To the ocean below while the moon above
Waits for the tide and the strong wide
River of love
Waits for the tide and the strong wide
River of love
Waits for the tide and the strong wide
River of love

This song appears on Tom Chapin's Let Me Back Into Your Life CD.
