The Gentle Tide (Duet)

// Copyright SeattleSysop 2026 Morning finds the window pane And the house feels wide again An empty chair down the hall A voice we knew, we hear no more It happens slow, it happens fast And suddenly it's in the past We turn around and they're just gone But still the world keeps spinning on It’s like the turning of the leaves Or drifting on a quiet breeze We hold them close, we say goodbye And watch the stars across the sky It’s just the way the river flows Into the blue where no one knows So hold the ones you have nearby Before the current passes by Don't let your heart turn hard and gray It's just this life we get today (keep on living) (keep on loving) We walk this road a little lighter The sun above a little brighter Even when we lose a friend We carry them until the end And the world keeps moving, endlessly It's how it is, and always will be So take my hand and walk a mile Remember them with just a smile We’re only here for a little time To find our reasons in the ride So wipe the tears off of your face And let the love just find its place It’s just the way the river flows Into the blue where no one knows So hold the ones you have nearby Before the current passes by Don't let your heart turn hard and gray It's just this life we get today (keep on living) (keep on loving) (ohh-ohh-ohh) The pages turn, the chapter fades But love is in the steps we made Yeah, love is in the steps we made It’s just the way the river flows (let it flow) Into the blue where no one knows (no one knows) So hold the ones you have nearby (hold them now) Before the current passes by Don't let your heart turn hard and gray It's just this life we get today Keep on living (living) Keep on loving (loving) It's just the current... (drifting on)
