Lyrics The River - Ken Dodd

The River

So still runs the river
on it’s journey to the sea
So still beats my heart for
you’re far so far away from me
So still runs the river
while I wait upon the shore
Amore retornae for my love
goes on forever more
Like the river forever more
I threw a pebble in the river
We watched the ripples flow
Beside my darling
see my darling
That’s just the way
our love will grow
And then I kissed you
how I remember
But oh I never knew
That like the ripples
on the water
Your love would
soon be fading too
So still runs the river
on it’s journey to the sea
So still beats my heart for
you’re far so far away from me
So still runs the river
while I wait upon the shore
Amore retornae for my love
goes on forever more
Like the river forever more
Like the river forever more…
