[Verse 1] Whoever said life was like a river That was gonna roll on forever Had to have been Out of their mind [Verse 2] If I ever waste another minute Simply for refusing to be in it Show me back in Rain or come shine [Pre-Chorus] Tell me softly that you’d love to lay by my side No delaying just in case we run out of time [Chorus] Hold me close just like a photograph Hoping it will last Soon enough it’s gonna be the past It’s coming fast [Pre-Chorus] All I want is you to hear the sound of my voice Once you hear me I fear you’ll be left with no choice [Chorus] Won’t you hold me close just like a photograph Hoping it will last Because soon enough it’s gonna be the past It’s coming fast [Outro] Whoever said life was like a river That was gonna roll on forever Whoever said life was like a river That was gonna roll on forever Whoever said life was like a river That was gonna roll on forever Whoever said life was like a river That was gonna roll on forever Whoever said life was like a river That was gonna roll on forever Whoever said life was like a river That was gonna roll on forever
