Not a true story.

Cool Water
copyright 2002 C Dan Robertson

We grew up on the Guadalupe
Running through theTexas hills
Holding hands, we’d walk to the river
When it got hot, we’d wade right in

And feel the cool water running ‘round our feet
Like the cool water, our love ran deep
When the heat of emotion washes over me
She’s like the cool water running ‘round my feet

We grew older, and the time came between us
You went your way, I went mine
But somewhere deep beneath the Guadalupe
You left your footprints in my mind

Just like the cool water running ‘round our feet
Like the cool water, our love ran deep
When the heat of emotion washes over me
She’s like the cool water, running ‘round my feet

Walk with me down to the rope swing tree
Leave your cares along the shore
Forget your promises, forget your pleas
Feel the river kisses once more

Years float away like a leaf on the current
And one day the river will run dry
One last time, let’s remember the moment
And take a walk to the river side

And feel the cool water running ‘round our feet
Like the cool water, our love ran deep
When the heat of emotion washes over me
Just like the cool water, she comforts me
