A River Flows Lyrics

Lights go down

In a sleepy little town

A sash goes up

A girl climbs down

And she's leaving

For the city

She hops in a van

As fast as she can

Gonna to be a woman

With a wanna be man

Tires are squealing

What a pity

A river flows

Down her mama's eyes

As she stares in disbelief

Taillight's glow

Burned forever in her mind

As she watches her baby leave

She's singing

Loud and clear

Cause she can

Feel it when

Love draws near

And that feeling

Is stronger than her fears

She closes her eyes and dreams

Eight months gone by

The doorbell rings

There she stands,

Such a pretty thing

And she's feeling

Anticipation

She's flat broke

boyfriend's gone

gotta' baby comin' before too long

And she's living

A desperate situation

A river flows

Down her mamma's eyes

As she stares in disbelief

But mama knows

As she wipes her daughter's eyes

Love will meet her needs

She's singing

Loud and clear

Cause she can

Feel it when

Love draws near

And that feeling

Is stronger than her fears

She closes her eyes and dreams

The sun comes up

In that sleepy little town

There's a baby wearing

A Christening gown

And they're leaving

For the dedication

town folks come

Church bell rings

there's power in the air

As the people sing

And they're feeling

A sense of adoration

A river flows

From newly opened eyes

As Love invades her soul

Now she knows

Why mama sings and cries

Now that love has made her whole

She's singing

Loud and clear

Cause she can

Feel it when

Love draws near

And that feeling

Is stronger than her fears

She closes her eyes and dreams
