Moonlit River Letra

Yes, I?m going to be OK, No, I don?t hate you Yes, maybe we?ll be friends some day Please don?t forget to leave me the back door key And lock the door once you?re on your way Yes, I?m going to take a trip for a day or so I don?t want to be here when you go Where to? Well, since you won?t be with me Do you really need to know? Chorus: I?m going to go back where we once walked by the moonlit river I?m going to lie on the soft wild grass where I lay with you For an hour or two I?ll believe love lasts forever Even though I know it isn?t true They say the riverside path is now an asphalt road Where the cars go barreling by And though the moon still shines through the trees at night The river has long run dry But I remember when we lay and watched the leaves float by You said ?I?ll kiss you if you come too near? Please tell me that kiss was one you can?t forget It?s the kind of lie I?m hungry to hear Chorus: I need to go back where we once walked by the moonlit river I need to lie on the soft wild grass where I lay with you For an hour or two I?ll believe love lasts forever Even though I know it isn?t true Well, the earth still spins and the sun comes up And the tides still ebb and flow Time, the sages say, is going to heal all wounds And the wounded ones tell me it?s so So I?m sure with time I?ll forget your smile I?ll forget the private thoughts we shared And who knows, but if time is kind to me I may wonder why I ever cared. Still Chorus I?m going to go back where we once walked by the moonlit river I?m going to lie on the soft wild grass where I lay with you For an hour or two I?ll believe love lasts forever Even though I know it isn?t true For an hour or two I?ll believe love lasts forever Even though I know it isn?t true
