River's On The Rise Lyrics - Steve Azar

She wakes up with a smile seldom seen before 

Gets ready for work, grabs her keys and floats right out the door 

Oh, the smell of her perfume says, he'll be waitin' there 

While drivin' down Fourth Avenue, she combs her hair 

Well, he's been waitin' for someone like her, all his life 

He's got so much to tell her when the time is right 

Oh, he drifts into another world when she walks down the hall 

The way he looks at her and says, hello, oh, says it all 

You can hear it in his voice, you can see it in her eyes 

Oh, love is a river and the river's on the rise 

Love is a river runnin' wild and runnin' free 

Flowin' through the heart like the Mississippi flows through me 

It's like standin' on a levee, lookin' down into the Delta's eyes 

Oh, love is a river and the river's on the rise 

So they both pretend that this is just another day 

But they know one wrong move, could give it all away 

With an endless stream of emotion, buildin' up inside 

He feels born again, and she's never felt so alive 

You can hear it in his voice, you can see it in her eyes 

Oh, love is a river and the river's on the rise 

Love is a river runnin' wild and runnin' free 

Flowin' through the heart like the Mississippi flows through me 

It's like standin' on a levee, lookin' down into the Delta's eyes 

Oh, love is a river and the river's on the rise 

You can hear it in his voice, you can see it in her eyes 

Oh, love is a river and the river's on the rise 

Yeah, love is a river and the river's on the rise, the river's on the rise 

Look out, the river's on the rise, here it comes, the river's on the rise 

Look out, the river's on the rise, there they go, the river's on the rise, yeah
