River

© Anne Sumner 2013

Time moves fast, but hearts move slow
Who could have seen the things we'd say, the places we would go
Please don't doubt you have my love
Everything you are to me will always be enough
And all the tension all the tears
Paved the path that brought us here

So hold me by the river, as if we'd never been apart
Let me be the one who knows you just the way you are
For everything we've been through, it's time we make a start
To be the people that we should have been
After everything that came between us
Let me be the one who holds you up
Like you hold me

A problem halved, a secret shared
After all these years of simply wanting to be there
To suddenly discover that you're on my side
And find that you are giving me a place to run and hide
And I can finally let it go
The things that only you could know

So hold me by the river, as if we'd never been apart
Let me be the one who knows you just the way you are
For everything we've been through, it's time we make a start
To be the people that we should have been
After everything that came between us
Let me be the one who holds you up
Like you hold me

And this is just where I would stay
The only place that I feel safe
And now we've finally put things right
I'll never let you out my sight

So hold me by the river, as if we'd never been apart
Let me be the one who knows you just the way you are
For everything we've been through, it's time we make a start
To be the people that we should have been
After everything that came between us
Let me be the one who holds you up
Like you hold me
Like you hold me
