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