Met you in the dark of night
You came to me by candlelight
A glance from those electric eyes
Could surely paralyze.
You barely said a word to me
Could you sense what was to be?
Your body language let me know
I felt your warmth, you said “Hello.”

They say this fire will surely fade
And all true passion dies.
But I know I’ll love you all my days
I’m gonna love you-‘ til my river runs dry
‘Til my river runs dry.

You answered “Yes” and my life changed
Three grown kids can’t dim the flame
We added to the family tree
Along the way some memories.
Now we’re down the road a ways
Life’s supposed to turn the page
But every time you look at me
I know just where I want to be.

They say this fire will surely fade
And all true passion dies.
But I know I’ll love you all my days
I’m gonna love you-‘ til my river runs dry
‘Til my river runs dry.

I pray you never doubt the love
We pledged in vows to God above.
So hold me like the world might end
My lover and my truest friend.

They say this fire will surely fade
And all true passion dies.
But I know I’ll love you all my days
I’m gonna love you-‘ till my river runs dry
‘Till my river runs dry.
