Standin' By The River

(앨범: The Long Haul - 1992)

Now when me and Ginny were sweet sixteen
We'd go down to the river at night.
Take a brand new penny make a wish and then
Throw it into the river wide.
She would never tell me what she wished
I never told her mine, standing by the river.
We were standing by the river
Holding to each other
Dreaming bout the other side.

Well now we got married and we moved away
Had to leave the easy world behind
But we took whatever God carried our way
Made the best out of the hardest times
I would hold her in my arms at night
Dreaming of the times standing by the river.
We were standing by the river
Holding to each other
Dreaming bout the other side.

We were just like that old river
Saw a lot of things come and go
But the love we had for one another
Kept on flowing.

Now I've still got my Ginny, it's been twelve years
And we're back upon the riverbank
Gonna throw me a penny in the river again
Gonna say a little word of thanks.
God I hope her every wish came true
I know I got mine, standing by the river
We were standing by the river
Holding to each other
Dreaming bout the other side.
We were standing by the river
Holding to each other
Dreaming bout the other side.
Yer –
Standing by the river, Standing by the river,
Standing by the river.
