Steve Azar River's On The Rise Lyrics

(Steve Azar/Roger Murrah/Mark Paul)

She wakes up with a smile seldom seen before
Gets ready for work, grabs her keys and floats right
Out the door
Oh, the smell of her perfume says he'll be
Waitin' there
While drivin' down Fourth Avenue, she combs her hair

Well, he's been waitin' for someone like her all his life
He's got so much to tell her when the time is right
He drifts into another world when she walks down the hall
The way he looks at her and says hello, oh says it all

You can hear it in his voice
You can see it in her eyes
Oh, love is a river and the river's on the rise

Love is a river runnin' wild and runnin' free
Flowin' through the heart like the Mississippi flows Through me
It's like standin' on a levee lookin' down into the
Delta's eyes
Oh, love is a river and the river's on the rise

So they both pretend that this is just another day
But they know one wrong move, could give it all away
With an endless stream of emotion buildin' up inside
He feels born again, and she's never felt so alive

You can hear it in his voice
You can see it in her eyes
Oh, love is a river and the river's on the rise
Yeah, love is a river and the river's on the rise

The river's on the rise
Look out, the river's on the rise
Here it comes, the river's on the rise
Look out, the river's on the rise
There they go, the river's on the rise
Yeah
