I loved you, you loved me.
Oh, how sweet fate can he.
In that happy moment
I forgot all my past.
Now I realize the way
The spell was cast,
At last,
Once we walked alone
Down by the river ,
All the world our own
Down by the river.
Maybe the river made our love song start.
Full was the river, yet more full my heart.
So I love you two,
You and the river ,
I'll he there for you,
I and the river
You will remember when you hear my song
Down when the river rolls along
