Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The river rolls, and the river winds
And it seems to do something for my peace of mind
Though I didn't know it, I came here looking to find
A place to forget about my troubles for a while
[Verse 2]
I saw a mother with her little baby while I was walking here
There's something 'bout a little baby makes me laugh
They don't seem to have a care
And I wonder if I'm ever gonna feel that way again
[Chorus]
Until then, I'll find some time to spend down by the river
[Verse 3]
I spend a lot of time looking forward
Looking back and looking down at my feet upon the ground
I fell backwards, and when I opened my eyes
I found myself staring straight up in the sky
And it seemed like there was something there to learn
When I realized I had nowhere else to be
And the only sound that mattered was the wind that blew so gently through the trees
[Chorus]
Such a harmony down by the river
[Verse 4]
I heard music, it was soft and clear
And I sang out for the first time, I didn't care who would hear
Because I found my answers in the wind and waves
And the magic in the little things that happen every day
And I played that tune on my old mandolin
And I didn't hurt at all for company
Because the river likes to sing along and knows the words to every song I play
[Outro]
It was a lovely day down by the river
Such a lovely day
