Capo On The First Fret.
As I went out waFlking, on a fine summer dFay
Through hills and the vaGlleys
I soon lost my wFay G
Till I came to an oFld man, kneeling down by a stFream
Gazing in to the wGater, like he was lost in a dFream
In his hand was a piFcture, he clung to for liFfe
And his eyes filled with tDears, as he tried not to cGry
As he looked to the FheaveFns, he started to pAmray
In the quiet country FsidGe, I could hear the man Fsay
Chorus
Life is a rFiver, I'll go with the flFow
And where it will tGake me, the Lord only kFnows G
but I miss you swFeetheart, your kindness and lFove
But i Know one dFay, we'll sail awGay on God's ocean aFbove
He said now young man, you're a stranger to me
Could I bother you kindly, for your company
Today I am thinking, of a time long ago
And I need to tell someone of a girl I love so
It's 42 years today, since Rose took my hand
and proudly I loved life, her husband, her man
till only last week son, God took her away
As I kissed her softly, these words she did say
Life is a River...
And with that the old man, sent me on my way
and said 'by the water I'll kneel for the day'
'I look at the river, starting out on it's life,
It's where I feel close to, my beautiful wife
