River

Sometimes life gets between all the plans that you're making
And then in a moment suddenly everything's changing
And you never could be ready for it
It's living and you can't ignore it
You were a phone call away at the end of a long day
I still have your voice on my phone saying "See you on Monday"
I never could be ready for it
And suddenly the rain is pouring
Looking up to the sky
And I don't know why
I'm gonna send love down the river
Tie it to a ribbon so it can fly
Put it on a sailboat
When the wind will blow, I'll learn to say goodbye
Life's about living and losing and hoping and praying
It's about searching for something and putting your faith in
And I always will be better for it
I don't know who I was before it
I look up to the sky
Even when I don't know why
I'm gonna send love down the river
Tie it to a ribbon so it can fly
Put it on a sailboat
When the wind will blow, I'll learn to say goodbye
We all roll on
Roll away
Like waves we all must break
Like tides we'll drift again
Don't hold on
For heaven's sake
As much as I am wanting you to stay
I'm gonna send love down the river
Tie it to a ribbon so it can fly
Put it on a sailboat
When the wind will blow, I'll learn to say
And I'm gonna send love down the river
Tie it to a ribbon so it can fly
Put it on a sailboat
When the wind will blow, I'll learn to say goodbye
When the wind will blow, I'll learn to say goodbye
