She up with a smile seldom seen before Gets ready for work, grabs her and floats right out the door Oh, the smell of her perfume says, he'll be there drivin' down Fourth Avenue, she combs her hair
Well, he's been waitin' for like her, all his life got so much to tell her when the time is right Oh, he drifts into another world when she walks the hall The way he looks at her and says, hello, oh, it all
You can it in his voice, you can see it in her eyes Oh, is a river and the river's on the rise
Love is a river runnin' wild and runnin' Flowin' through the heart the Mississippi flows through me It's like standin' on a levee, lookin' down into the eyes Oh, love is a river and the on the rise
So they both pretend that is just another day But they know one wrong move, give it all away With an stream of emotion, buildin' up inside He feels again, and she's never felt so alive
You can hear it in his voice, you can see it in her Oh, is a river and the river's on the rise
Love is a river runnin' and runnin' free Flowin' through the heart like the flows through me It's standin' on a levee, lookin' down into the Delta's eyes Oh, love is a river and the on the rise
You can it in his voice, you can see it in her eyes Oh, love is a river and the river's on the Yeah, love is a river and the river's on the rise, the on the rise
Look out, the river's on the rise, here it comes, the on the rise Look out, the river's on the rise, they go, the river's on the rise, yeah
