Story behind the song
One of those rare perfect days that you never want to end. Sitting by the water with the one you love.
Lyrics
If I could sit here
On the grass with you
And watch the swans go by
Just sit here
And watch time pass with you
Until the day I die
I couldn't be a better man
No matter how I tried
‘cause nothing could be better than
To be here by your side
If I could sail away
The way the river flows
Or fly the nightly skies
Or write the poem
That never shows
The teardrops in my eyes
And even though the water goes
For miles towards the sea
Still in the morn, the poet knows
The river will still be
We could talk all day or just not say
Another word at all
And I could sing of love in Spring
Even though it's Fall
‘cause winds will blow and Rivers flow
Forever and a day
While seasons come and seasons go
I am here to stay
And life makes perfect sense to me
When first it seemed so dense to me
The River plays the melody
That leads you back to me
If I could sit here
By the waterside
And wrap myself around you
Just sit here
And watch the other side
And dream of how I found you
To touch your skin and see you smile
My heart would skip a beat
And only for a little while
My life would be complete
And life makes perfect sense to me
When first it seemed so dense to me
The River plays the melody
That leads you back to me
