Bobby Goldsboro
Everytime I hear the rain drops falling
Suddenly I hear the river calling
Saying I've been gone too long
It's time to come back home.
When I hear the rain drops pitter patter
Suddenly the things that really matter
Seem to come across my mind
And then I'm feeling fine
I could leave my tears behind
And listen to the rhythm of the river.
I was just a lonely little critter
When I first saw the river glitter
Shine beneath the midnight moon
And sang a happy tune.
Memories along that river running
Watching all the frogs and crawdads sunning
Skipping rocks around the bend
Where he was my friend
I could leave my tears behind
And listen to the rhythm of the river.
Long as I see that river rolling across my mind
Yes that river knows I won't be far behind.
When I hear the rain drops pitter patter
Suddenly the things that really matter
Seem to come across my mind
And then I'm feeling fine
I could leave my tears behind
And listen to the rhythm of the river.
Long as I see that river rolling across my mind
Yes that river knows I won't be far behind
Long as that river flows along
I will hear the rhythm of its song
Calling me home again
Just like a good old friend
Time to leave my tears behind
And listen to the rhythm of the river.
