Come Walk Down To The River
Come walk down to the river tonight,
And I promise you no city lights
Just watch as the world's own fireflies
Very slowly, light up the skies.
We will stay and hear the world in perfect harmony,
Singing birds and soft waves making their own melody
Up till dawn we can do our best
Talking and laughing as the other world rests.
Not much more peaceful than this can be
Come walk down to the river tonight and you will see
We can make a fire and count shooting stars
Collect pebble stones and those fireflies in our jars.
We will have the light of the world right in our hand
Wouldn't you much rather be here than on city land?
Throwing the stones back in the water and letting go of the fireflies
And yet there is no need to say any goodbyes
Let's try and give this a chance
This is worth a lifetime of remembrance
Come let's walk out of the city lights
Let’s walk down to the river tonight.
