[Intro]
Waiting by the riverside, heart unsettled but true
Hope flickers in the mist, 'cause I know you'll come through
[Verse 1]
Met him on a dawn so hazy, by the water's edge he stood
His hands were weathered, eyes like the river, full of stories good
Worked the endless flow, a sailor on a restless sea
Fell for him in a heartbeat, lost my heart so easily
[Pre-Chorus]
Months drifted like the current, he was gone but the love stayed
Waiting for his homecoming, each night and every day
[Chorus]
River man, my heart's breaking, yet it's whole again
Come back to me from the waters, where your life begins
Through the storms and the quiet, I’ll always understand
You're my forever, my river man
[Verse 2]
Life’s got its ups and downs, like the tides that rise and fall
We’ve faced our storms together, I’ve loved him through it all
Every goodbye’s a promise, that next time he’ll arrive
Back to the arms that hold him, to keep his dreams alive
[Pre-Chorus]
Letters float like leaves downstream, love’s message in each line
Counting days, dreaming of the moment he’ll be mine
[Chorus]
River man, my heart's breaking, yet it's whole again
Come back to me from the waters, where your life begins
Through the storms and the quiet, I’ll always understand
You're my forever, my river man
[Bridge]
And when the river whispers, I hear his voice so clear
Telling me he loves me, that he’s always near
No matter where he’s sailing, in my heart he will land
Waiting for my river man, to hold him in my hand
[Outro]
So I’ll keep waiting by the river deep and wide
Knowing he’ll come back to me, his love and his pride
For I found my only, my heart’s true plan
Forever with my river man, till the end
