Along the River

--- [Verse 1] Along the river I remember your face I hear your voice in the wind I know I'll never see you again In this life but maybe the next [Verse 2] The sun warms my skin I think of you laughing As we ran down to the creek You told me we'd always be together Now yours is the hand that I seek [Verse 3] It seems unfair that you were taken so soon I whisper crying to the moon I want to let you live on In every word in every song [Verse 4] God thought you were too great To be kept a secret So he brought you back to heaven To show all his friends What the best person looks like I told God he was selfish And the lightning struck back Leaving me drenched in a storm With this grief to unpack [Chorus] So I’ll walk this road with your shadow in mine Let the stars be the rhythm the river the rhyme And when I sing I’ll sing for two One for me and one for you [Bridge] I lit a candle down by the willow Let it melt with my tears in the grass I heard your laugh in the rustling branches Like you never really passed I play your song on the old guitar The strings don’t sound quite the same But I feel you in every broken chord And it sings to me your name [Chorus] So I’ll walk this road with your shadow in mine Let the stars be the rhythm the river the rhyme And when I sing I’ll sing for two One for me and one for you [Outro] Down by the river I still hear you hum A quiet tune beneath the sun ---
