The Oak Ridge Boys - Standin' By The River lyrics

Now when me and Ginny were sweet sixteen We'd go down to the river at night. Take a brand new penny make a wish and then Throw it into the river wide. She would never tell me what she wished I never told her mine, standin' by the river. We were standin' by the river Holding to each other Dreamin' bout the other side. Well now we got married and we moved away Had to leave the easy world behind But we took whatever God carried our way Made the best out of the hardest times I would hold her in my arms at night Dreamin' of the times standin' by the river. We were standin' by the river Holding to each other Dreamin' bout the other side. We were just like that old river Saw a lot of things come and go But the love we had for one another Kept on flowing. Now I've still got my Ginny, it's been twelve years And we're back upon the riverbank Gonna throw me a penny in the river again Gonna say a little word of thanks. God I hope her every wish came true I know I got mine, standin' by the river We were standin' by the river Holding to each other Dreamin' bout the other side. We were standin' by the river Holding to each other Dreamin' bout the other side. Yer – Standin' by the river, Standin' by the river, Standin' by the river.
