Love Like a River Lyrics
My love is like a river,
she just keeps on rolling along
No man ever can keep that girl
from moving on
Easy as she comes by,
easy as she's gone
Get down, real down,
crying how I love that girl,
she's as free as heaven on a breeze
Lay my burden down,
down by the river's edge,
there I learned to let my lover be
And don't you know I'd hold you (hold you, oh yeah)
if I could find a way,(oh yeah, oh yeah)
if I could only catch you, (oooh, catch you, oh yeah)
if only you would stay. (stay, stay)
and don't you know I want you, (want you, want you)
baby, baby, baby, baby, stay (stay, yeah)
If i could only love you, (love me)
but girl you keep on
running away (x3)
oh oh no no (yeah)
My love is like a river.
she just keeps on rolling along
from moving on
Easy as she comes by,
easy as she's gone
crying how I love that girl,
she's as free as heaven on a breeze
down by the river's edge,
there I learned to let my lover be
if I could find a way,(oh yeah, oh yeah)
if I could only catch you, (oooh, catch you, oh yeah)
if only you would stay. (stay, stay)
baby, baby, baby, baby, stay (stay, yeah)
If i could only love you, (love me)
but girl you keep on
running away (x3)
oh oh no no (yeah)

It's not often I come across a song I wish was written for me. This is one of those rare times. Bliss.
68-69 era Rolling Stones mixed with post-"Ladies and Gentlemen" Spiritualized. This song is just absolutely perfect.
