The river keeps on rolling
My lifestream keeps on flowing
Only you know what you’re doing to my soul
My dreams call on tomorrow
My love knows all my sorrow
Only you know what you’re doing to my soul

Stay with me and we’ll find a way
I’ll be your night if you’ll be my day
Through the dawn and beyond the sky
We can fly, you and I
Only you know what you’re doing to my soul

The river keeps on rolling
My lifestream keeps on flowing
Only you know what you’re doing to my soul
Only you know what you’re doing to my soul
