DOWN WHERE THE RIVER BENDS''
We gathered violets mid grasses green, down where the river tends And as I held you close, I felt this love of ours could never end For it was April and the Blue Bird came to sing his song,
Little did I think e?er long I would stand alone,
Down where the river "bends.
Refrain-
I stood down where the river "bends and waited for the end Of this April day.
I watched the sun fade out of view then dear, I thought of you, I)own where the river "bends.
Twilight shadows gathered o?er the lea and then I felt you were so very near to me, so dear to me.
The stars came out to light the sky and only found that I, stood
trying to pretend
This dream would never end
Down where the river "bends,
SHADOW TIME AT EVENTIDE
Refrain-
Shadow time at eventide, memories of you Moon above in a starlet sky, roses wet with dew,
Fragrance of a summer's night, I alone reminiscing.
In my arms I hold you tight, your sweet lips I'm kissing.
Shadow time at eventide, dreaming dreams of you,
Hoping as the night goes by, '
That my dream comes true, that my dream comes ture.
