River

[Verse 1]
Sometimes life gets between all the plans that you're makin'
And then in a moment, suddenly everything's changin'
And you never could be ready for it
It's livin' and you can't ignore it

[Verse 2]
You were a phone call away at the end of a long day
I still have your voice on my phone sayin', "See you on Monday"
I never could be ready for it
And suddenly the rain is pourin'

[Pre-Chorus]
Lookin' up to the sky
And I don't know why

[Chorus]
But I'm gonna send love down the river
Tie it to a ribbon so it can fly
And put it on a sailboat
When the wind will blow, I'll love to say goodbye

[Verse 3]
Well, lifе's about livin' and losin' and hopin' and prayin'
Well, it's about searchin' for somethin' and puttin' your faith in
And I always will bе better for it
I don't know who I was before it

[Pre-Chorus]
I look up to the sky
Well, even when I don't know why

[Chorus]
And I'm gonna send love down the river
Tie it to a ribbon so it can fly
And put it on a sailboat
When the wind will blow, I'll love to say goodbye

[Bridge]
We all roll on, roll away
Like waves, we almost break
Like tides, we'll drift again
Don't hold on for heaven's sake
As much as I am wanting you to stay

[Chorus]
No, I'm gonna send love down the river
Tie it to a ribbon so it can fly
And put it on a sailboat
When the wind will blow, I'll love to say
And I'm gonna send love down the river
Tie it to a ribbon so it can fly
And put it on a sailboat
When the wind will blow, I'll love to say goodbye
When the wind will blow, I'll love to say goodbye
