Gonna’ Walk by The River
(Sort of a song lyric)
By Tom King © 2010
2. You can’t turn on the radioYou can’t watch TV
It’s in almost every thing you try to read
They say that Love is the answer, but then what is the question
And who knows where Love will lead
3. Why does everybody talk so much about love
When hardly anybody really knows
What love really is and where it comes from,
And the secret to how love grows.
4. I found her one day-- a place I hadn’t expected
I had just got up off of my knees
I’d told God, “I can’t find her.” Too much hurt, too much heartbreak
Help me find her Lord won’t you please
Chorus:
We’re gonna walk by the River of Life till it ends
And keep on walking up around the next bend
Cause a love strong as this one, God only sends
To last you forever my friend.
(last time) To last you forever my friend
5. We were on the same bus, coming back home to Texas
When God smacked me upside the headCause when the stars cleared, she was right there beside me
“And she’ll be there forever,” He said.
Chorus:
It’s been thirty seven years, the two of us together
And there’s one thing that I’ve learned since then.
It’s not the love that you get, it’s the love that you give
That’ll carry you through to the end
Chorus (end):
