lyrics

Remember when we used to hang down by the lake
Skipping stones and smiling for each other's sake
In those days we thought we'd never grow old
Never fit into our mothers' and fathers' molds

Like the river that just rolls on by
And like the streetlights that only shine at night
I'll be waiting for you to come on by
And if you don't, I guess this is goodbye

Many years we spent just lazing on that shore
Vivid sunsets that shook us to our very core
A spirit flew with us from day to day
Animating every blessed word that we would say

Like the river that just rolls on by
And like the streetlights that only shine at night
I'll be waiting for you to come on by
And if you don't, I guess this is goodbye

When that train rolls in from a hundred miles away
Will I recognize your face and what will I say?
Have you changed, have you been living in a dream?
So much water under bridges I have never seen

Like the river that just rolls on by
And like the streetlights that only shine at night
I'll be waiting for you to come on by
And if you don't, I guess this is goodbye

Oh if you don't I guess this is goodbye
If you don't I guess this is goodbye
If you don't I guess this is goodbye
