I´ve lived a life full of sorrow
With no where to run or to hide
Happiness you´ll see is borrowed
All I want is you by my side

Gentle river take me away
to the time of happier days
All I need is love and company
Gentle river bring him back to me

You can spend all your time a´cryin
Listen here I don´t need your sympathy
Cause I´ve made my life to live it
All I need is you here with me...

Gentle river take me away
to the time of happier days
All I need is love and company
Gentle river bring him back to me

Gentle river bring em´ back to me
