Only The River Knows - Billy Burnette

Only the river knows

How deep our true love goes

It washed our secrets to the sea

Every kiss we ever shared

Is out driftin' in the ocean air

Why you left, why you let me go

Only the river knows

Tall grass dancin' in the wind

Brings you back to me again

I’ll keep waitin' down the bend

For you

We used to dream underneath these stars

About forever in each other’s arms

Why’d your eyes have to be so blue?

Only the river knows

How deep our true love goes

It washed our secrets to the sea

Every kiss we ever shared

Is out driftin' in the ocean air

Why you left, why you let me go

Only the river knows

Why’d you leave our love when it was growing?

Why’d you leave me out here all alone?

I come down here always hopin'

But you never show

Only the river knows

How deep our true love goes

It washed our secrets to the sea

Every kiss we ever shared

Is out driftin' in the ocean air

Why you left, why you let me go

Only the river knows
