Winding tale of live (Live) Lyrics

Sailing down this river my mind drifts back to childhood days

Playing in the fields discovering life's simple ways

Parents' love was everywhere laughter filled the air

Those golden days of innocence without a single care

Without a single care

So As river winds to teenage years a mix of joy and pain

Dreams of grandeur took over as innocence began to wane

Competing with the peers striving to find a place

Learning life's hard lessons and making it through the race

And making it throught the race

Sail on through the years and sail on through the tears

As memories unfold laughter fades and disappears

From the start to the end life like a river flows

In this journey we all face I fear that's how it goes

Yes I fear that's how it goes

Oh I fear that's how it goes!

First love's mystery captured me emotions running wild

The First kiss or the first dance the wonder of a child

Tender moments cherished heart racing with the thrill

Oh Love's first awakening is a memory vivid still

Such a memory vivid still

A man's responsibilities duties to uphold

Working hard for the family treasures more than gold

Children's laughter precious my wife's love as my guide

Together we faced life's storms as we stood side by side

Yes we stood side by side!

Sail on through the years and sail through all the tears

In the family we raise through both joys and fears

From the start to the end life like a river flows

In this journey we all face I fear that's how it goes

Yes I fear that's how it goes

Now my boat is slowing nearing life's final bend

Many friends have left me solitude my end

Life starts with you in the center surrounded by a crew

But ends in quiet whispers with memories left to view

Yeah memories left to view!

Sail on through the years and sail through all the tears

With memories so old time's shadow appears

From the start to the end life like a river flows

In this journey we all face I fear that's how it goes

Oh I fear that's how it goes!

The river's reached its destination my journey's nearly done

Looking back at all the moments each and every one

From childhood dreams to old age through love and loss and strife

This river's been my story the winding tale of life
