Jasper Wilderness - Cherish the River Lyrics

I remember when you moved up towards the river
You danced on the banks by the fire like a child
It was then that you opened your mouth
And a song sweet as honey came pouring out
I cherish the day you moved by the river
It was just a year we lived at the river
'Fore the waters dared sweep us apart
It was then with tears in my eyes
I said I would love you till the day that I die
But I know we've been called away from the river
I'll never leave even though I'm far
Though you can't hear it beat
You still have my heart
Even when our river's not in view
I'll be thinking of you
Darlin' know I won't compromise
When I see you next
I'm going to hold you tight
It's okay to close your eyes
It's not for the last time
It's not for the last time
I was wondering at seventeen
Were you my one girl, my sweet reprieve?
But California to the North of Spain
By the grace of God our love remains
I'll never leave even though I'm far
Though you can't hear it beat
You still have my heart
Even when our river's not in view
I'll be thinking of you
Darlin' know I won't compromise
When I see you next
I'm going to hold you tight
It's okay to close your eyes
It's not for the last time
I remember the day when you moved by the river
When you danced on the banks by the fire like a child
In one moment of awestruck array
I knew my soul would be bound to those banks
I cherish the day when you moved by the river
