Lyrics Run Softly, Blue River - Johnny Cash

Run softly, blue river, my darlin's asleep
(Run softly, blue river, run cool and deep)
Run softly, blue river, my darlin's asleep
Run softly, blue river, run cool and deep

Oh, I thrill to her kisses, and she thrills to mine
Run softly while she sleeps and dreams for a time
'Cause she dreams of tomorrow when she'll be my wife
And I pray that as peaceful as you is our life

And if your murmuring soothes me till I'm sleeping too
Run softly, blue river, we'll both dream with you

(Run softly, blue river, my darlin's asleep)
(Run softly, blue river, run cool and deep)

Oh, I thrill to her kisses, and she thrills to mine
Run softly while she sleeps and dreams for a time
'Cause she dreams of tomorrow when she'll be my wife
And I pray that as peaceful as you is our life

And if your murmuring soothes 'til I'm sleeping too
Run softly, blue river, we'll both dream with you

(Run softly, blue river, my darlin's asleep)
(Run softly, blue river, run cool and deep)
(Run softly, blue river, my darlin's asleep)
(Run softly, blue river, run cool and deep)

(Run softly, blue river, my darlin's asleep)
