“Riverside Reverie”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Am G D Am
Down by the riverside, under the sycamore tree
Am G D Am
Sat a man playing his heart, in the sweet symphony
Am G D Am
Sang of love, sang of peace, sang of the world’s decree
Am G D Am
In his voice, I found comfort, in his words, I found me
(Chorus)
Am G D Am
Sing along, Riverside Reverie
Am G D Am
Strum your heart out, for the world to see
Am G D Am
In this song, we are one, in this song, we are free
Am G D Am
Riverside Reverie, a melody for you and me
(Verse 2)
Am G D Am
Night fell, but the riverside kept playing its tune
Am G D Am
Under the moon’s glow, he sang to the stars in the dune
Am G D Am
His voice echoed in the wind, his chords dancing in spree
Am G D Am
In this Riverside Reverie, we found our unity
(Chorus)
Am G D Am
Sing along, Riverside Reverie
Am G D Am
Strum your heart out, for the world to see
Am G D Am
In this song, we are one, in this song, we are free
Am G D Am
Riverside Reverie, a melody for you and me
