Where the River Knows Our Names

The morning light rolls softly over fields of amber gold
We walk the path beside the river telling stories never told
Your hand is resting warm in mine like pages in a book
Every step we take together has a deeper loving look

The willow trees are swaying gently singing with the breeze
And every note that drifts between us puts my restless heart at ease
We laugh about the little things the memories we made
The world feels lighter every moment in the quiet of the shade

The river knows our secrets and it carries them along
Flowing like a gentle promise in a never ending song
We sit upon the old wood bridge watching clouds roll by
Your smile feels like a sunrise painted soft across the sky

And in the hush of golden hours i hear your heartbeat clear
A steady rhythm like a whisper saying i am always near
We close our eyes and breathe as one no hurry in our veins
Just two souls moving lightly where the river knows our names

The fading sun begins to glow in shades of copper red
And all the words we never said are drifting through my head
The day is slipping into dusk but still we choose to stay
Holding on to every second that the night wont take away

You lean your head upon my shoulder soft as evening air
And i can feel the whole world settle knowing you are always there
No storms can break the bond we keep no shadows pull us down
Our hearts hold steady like the river that is flowing past the town

So let the darkness take the sky let stars begin to claim
This quiet place we wander where the river knows our name
And i will walk beside you always through the calm and through the flame
Forever dancing to the heartbeat where the river knows our name
