That Old River

We made our journey through the woods
To sit on that old river bank
Those times spent together
I still give the Lord, my thanks

No blanket to sit upon that day
Ours were made of the fallen leaves
The melodies of those times
Still sing so sweetly... to me

My how time seems to eagerly fly
Through the seasons that come and go
Where the rivers edge... may lead us all
No one ever really knows

Ever winding and passing us by
Hold your memories near
Embrace them close to your grateful heart
Cherish them in all your years

If I could turn back the clock
For just one lovely day
To have us all together again
I would not hesitate

Watching the water glide gently by
The cedar smell was beyond compare
Where we sat laughing and fishing
As the dragonflies filled the air

I can never travel to that old river again
Or stand in the same lovely place
Or feel those gentle winds
That used to caress my face

I shall never forget those wonderful memories
For they hold such sentimental flair
Yet, they still come alive in me
When with you... I graciously share
