While Rivers Run

Lyrics

[Intro]


(Acoustic guitar fingerpicking intro with light whistling)


[Verse 1]
Some people say that feelings fade like shadows
That a fire burns out and slowly disappears
But every path we walk across these meadows
Only makes me love you more throughout the years
I'm not just looking for a passing whisper
I'm building a house that storms can never shake
My love for you grows deeper and it's simpler
With every single promise that we make

[Chorus]
And I'm gonna hold you close through every season
As long as rivers run into the sea
I don't need a rhyme and I don't need a reason
You'll always be the only one for me
From now until the very end, my heart is yours, amen

[Verse 2]
They say that time will change the way we're looking
And turn our golden hair to shades of gray
But I'll still love the quiet plans we're booking
And every little word you have to say
Even when the memories start to wander
And the world begins to turn a little slow
My heart will still be growing even fonder
Of the sweetest soul that I will ever know

[Chorus]
And I'm gonna hold you close through every season
As long as rivers run into the sea
I don't need a rhyme and I don't need a reason
You'll always be the only one for me
From now until the very end, my heart is yours, amen

[Outro]
Oh darling, yes it's yours, amen
Forever, my friend

(Ooh, ooh)
Through the very end, amen

(Acoustic guitar fades out)
