Lyrics

Life’s A Rushing River
Lyrics: Edward Renn; Music: Frank Bolkus

Life’s a rushing river, with unrelenting flow.
Caught up in its current, avoid the undertow.
Navigate the rapids, while barreling downstream.
Decades float by quickly, then they vanish like a dream.

Life’s a rushing river, ‘til sunset from daybreak.
Images of mem’ries emerge upon its wake.
Visions of lost loved ones, meander and unwind.
Milestones of children surface in a parent’s mind.

We’ve shared life’s long journey; you’re my lifelong friend.
You’ll be my companion ‘til the river’s end.
We’ve sailed this life’s voyage, and we’ll sail again.
You’ll be my soul’s companion, far beyond the river’s end.

Life’s a rushing river, eroding on its course,
Gathering mementos, collected from its source.
At life’s fertile delta, well-earned accomplishments.
What succeeds the river? We float, kept in suspense.

We’ve shared life’s long journey; you’re my lifelong friend.
You’ll be my companion ‘til the river’s end.
We’ve sailed this life’s voyage, and we’ll sail again.
You’ll be my soul’s companion, far beyond the river’s end.

Life’s a rushing river, with unrelenting flow.
Caught up in its current, avoid the undertow.
Navigate the rapids, while barreling downstream.
Decades float by quickly, then they vanish like a dream.
…they vanish like a dream…vanish like a dream…vanish like a dream.
