Lazy River
Louis Armstrong His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That lazy, hazy river where we both can dream
Linger in the shade of an old oak tree
Throw away your troubles, dream a dream with me
Up a lazy river where the robin's song
Wakes up in the mornin', as we roll along
Blue skies up above ....everyone's in love
Up a lazy river with me
(instrumental break)
Up a lazy river by the old mill run
That lazy, lazy river in the noon day sun
You can linger in the shade of that fine ole tree
Throw, away your troubles, baby, dream with me
Up a lazy river where the robin's song
Wakes a brand new mornin' as we roll along
There are blue skies up above...and as long as we're in love
Up a lazy river, how happy we could be
If you go up a lazy river with me
Ah said with me now.....goin'up that... lazy river..... with me
The song "Lazy River" by Louis Armstrong and His Orchestra talks about two people going up a lazy river by an old mill stream, where they can spend their time dreaming and forgetting about their troubles. The peaceful river and the blue skies above make everyone happy, especially when they are in love. In the afternoon, they can linger in the shade of an old oak tree and continue to dream together. The song suggests that the simple things in life, like a lazy river, can bring joy and happiness, and that being with someone you love is one of life's greatest pleasures.
