Full song lyrics:

(Verse 1)
Em G D
Underneath the starlight, where the river flows
A Em
We danced in the moon glow, Orion in our souls
Em G D
The world stood still, as we lost control
A Em
Just you and I, beneath the glow

(Chorus)
G D A
Rivers of Orion, lighting up the sky
Em G D
In our hearts forever, where our love lies
G D A
Rivers of Orion, in your eyes I find
Em G D
A treasure that’s forever, a love that’s hard to find

(Verse 2)
Em G D
In your eyes I see, a universe unexplored
A Em
In your touch, I feel a love that I adored
Em G D
Every moment with you, feels like a cherished lore
A Em
Underneath the stars, it’s you I implore

(Chorus)
G D A
Rivers of Orion, lighting up the sky
Em G D
In our hearts forever, where our love lies
G D A
Rivers of Orion, in your eyes I find
Em G D
A treasure that’s forever, a love that’s hard to find
