Lyrics

I remember the river
When I was only six years old
I didn’t know much
But oh how I loved
The way the ripples danced in the sun
I’d take my shoes off
walk barefoot in the stream
Singing out loud
Wond’ring about
How it ran down to the sea

I remember the river
When I just turned seventeen
I painted my name
it’s still there today
on the Susquehanna Bridge
There was this one girl
Stole my heart with a smile
And one moonlit night
We made the climb
To write her na
Ohh the river comes to me
Like an old friend in my dreams
Now the river lives in me
Like the blood running through my veins

I remember the river
Every time I need calming down
And I feel the peace
Wash over me
And surrender to the feeling
When I have a child
I’ll bring ‘em to this sacred place
To see through their eyes
The circle of life
And let our Hearts align

Ohh the river comes to me
Like an old friend in my dreams
Now the river lives in me
Like the blood running through my veins


I remember the river
I remember the river
