River Of Love Lyrics - John Denver

All of my life I've been so happy 

While I have had you by my side 

And now you say you're gonna leave me 

For to become someone else's bride 

Oh the river of love it has gone muddy 

And the flowers they are dying on the shore 

And the blue skies have all turned to darkness 

And the nightingales will sing no more 

What can I do to hide my sorrow? 

What can I do to ease my pain? 

And how can I keep these tears from fallin'? 

Oh darlin' won't you come back hpme again?

Oh the river of love it has gone muddy 

And the flowers they are dying on the shore 

And the blue skies have all turned to darkness 

And the nightingales will sing no more 

Tomorrow I will take you to the station 

And see that you're safely on that train 

And when that 2: 19 has departed 

I'll never ever see your smile again

Oh the river of love it has gone muddy 

And the flowers they are dying on the shore 

And the blue skies have all turned to darkness 

And the nightingales will sing no more 

And the blue skies have all turned to darkness 

And the nightingales will sing no more
