Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1 – G, C, D, C)
Down by the still water’s edge in the heart of the night,
Under the glow of the moon, in the soft pale light.
I found a place to rest my weary heart,
In the silence, I could feel a new start.

(Chorus – Em, D, G, C)
Still water reverie, oh how you set me free,
In the quiet, in the calm, I find my serenity.
Still water reverie, a place for you and me,
In the whispers of the night, we find our destiny.

(Verse 2 – G, C, D, C)
The breeze carries the song of the old willow tree,
Echoes of love letters carved for you and me.
Under the stars, the world seems so small,
In the heart of the night, love conquers all.

(Chorus – Em, D, G, C)
Still water reverie, oh how you set me free,
In the quiet, in the calm, I find my serenity.
Still water reverie, a place for you and me,
In the whispers of the night, we find our destiny.

(Bridge – Em, D, C, D)
In the stillness of the night, under the moon’s gentle light,
We yield to the rhythm, in the silence, we take flight.

(Chorus – Em, D, G, C)
Still water reverie, oh how you set me free,
In the quiet, in the calm, I find serenity.
Still water reverie, a place for you and me,
In the whispers of the night, we find our destiny.
