There's a river that I go that nobody has to know
Where I would wait for you, long for you
It's the river that we went that last summer that we spent
The day you left for war to fight again
I'll be waiting for your sweet nothings
To steal my heart and make me fly again
There's no reason why I shouldn't dream that
This love of ours should ever have to end
Oh my sweet, sweet sweetheart
Won't you come, come back to me
Oh my sweet, sweet sweetheart
There's still time to grow old with me
All these nights that I have spent lying lonely in my bed
No other dream I know but to see you again
I'm not the only one left waiting by the window watching, praying
But I beg your son won't be the one to pay for what they're taking
I'll be waiting for your sweet nothings
To steal my heart and make me fly again
There's no reason why I shouldn't dream that
This love of ours should ever have to end
Oh my sweet, sweet sweetheart
Won't you come, come back to me
Oh my sweet, sweet sweetheart
There's still time to grow old with me
Oh the day the letter came I had dreaded all my days
I felt the panic rush, rip through my skin
Oh what comfort should I find, now I'm the bride just left behind
To lay to rest my darling, gone before his time
I begged the sun to rise again on all the days that we began
In the stillness, in the quiet
I knew you'd never
Come to the river
Again
I knew you'd never
Come to the river
Again
I knew you'd never
Come to the river
Again
I knew you'd never
Come to the river
Again
I'll be waiting for your sweet nothings
To steal my heart and make me fly again
They told me a reason why I shouldn't dream that
This love of ours should never have to end
Oh my sweet, sweet sweetheart
Won't you come, come back to me
Oh my sweet, sweet sweetheart
Won't you come, come back to me
