'Till The Rivers Run Dry
Don Williams Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Till the rivers all run dry
Till the sun falls from the sky
Till life on earth is through
I'll be needing you
I know sometimes you may wonder
From little things I say and do
But there's no need for you to wonder
If I need you, 'cause I'll need you
Too many times I don't tell you
Too many things get in the way




And even though sometimes I hurt you
Still you show me, in every way

What I loved about Don Williams was that he wasn’t a jumping shouting performer he was a singer from inside out. His voice came from deep inside and you could see it all over
