Well if the moon had eyes it'd see me cryin', cryin' over you
And if the stars had ears they'd hear me every night
Singin' this lonesome tune
I'm standing here by the river
Thinkin' about love gone bad
It was too late when I realized the best was what I had
A foghorn blows in the distance
I zip my jacket and tie
I watch a tug comin' ‘round the bend
Then pa**in' out of sight
Like your love it's always comin' and goin'
On its way to someplace new
And I'm left here by the riverside
Just cryin' over you
Well if the moon had eyes it'd see me cryin', cryin' over you
And if the stars had ears they'd hear me every night
Singin' this lonesome tune
I'm standing here by the river
Thinkin' about love gone bad
It was too late when I realized the best was what I had
Weeping willow stands there
Limbs all hangin' down
Tellin' me it knows how I feel
Never makin' a sound
Lowly it is, Lord, it'd seen ‘em all
People come to watch the river flow
It's never seen a fool as big as me
For ever letting you go
And I'm standing here by the riverside
Just watching the river flow
And I'm standing here by the riverside
Just watching the river flow
And I'm standing here by the riverside
Still trying to let you go
Well I'm standing here by the riverside
Still trying to let you go
