Down by the river

Down by the river she
would meet him

and watch him fishing

and as she sat down her
skirt would blow in the breeze

and she would feel free

 

such a hot day when he
done fishing there

they would walk hand
in hand along it banks

a innocent that's lost
today

 

long hot sunny days

without a care in the
world

they look into each
other eyes

she stop and gave him a
kiss on the cheek

he did not know what to
say

when she did that

she ran away

 

then he saw her one day

and ask her

why did she run away

after the kiss on his
cheek

she just smile and then
she walk away

 

and the days turn into
nights

years flow by like the
river running by

they run into each
other now and again and say hi

oh how time fly' s

 

one day he was by the
river

and walking along

as the sun shore

 

he saw the girl who
gave him a kiss

but she was in a mist

all white and beautiful

then she was gone

 

he went running after
her

he was not going to let
her go

so he went to her home

 

he knock on the door

like so many times
before

but stood before him

was her mother with
tears in her eyes

she said she had died

 

he fell to his kneels

and said I never knew
she was ill

and he wept like a baby
at night

 

her mother said son it
the strangest thing

she woke this morning

and told me with a
smile on her face

that she love you

and was going down to
river to meet you

and tell you she love
you

but then she sat down
and close her eyes

and then she was gone

 

and then I knew she
came to find him to say goodbye

to him and this life

 

Down by the river she
would meet him

and watch him fishing

and as she sat down her
skirt would blow in the breeze

and she would feel free
