Billy Burnette - Only the River Knows lyrics

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 gra** 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
