Where The Cottonwood Grows

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
I can close my eyes and it takes me backTo two young lovers on that riverbankTo the sounds of the wind and the whip-poor-willAnd the way that your bare skin would feelAs we laid in the sun I could see your eyesBlue as the blue in that Southern skyKisses warm as a wild red roseAt the bend in the river where the cottonwood growsAnd we'd danceAnd we'd singAnd we'd love each other as the pale moon glowsAt the bend in the rivеr where the cottonwood growsAt thе bend in the river where the cottonwood growsI can still recall the words you saidAnd the plans we dreamed as we looked aheadBut the fork in the river took us separate waysAs the years went by, I can't forget those daysAnd I often wonder but I'll never knowIf we ended up followin' a different roadWould we still be layin' by the wild red rose?At the bend in the river where the cottonwood growsAnd we'd danceAnd we'd singAnd we'd love each other as the pale moon glowsAt the bend in the river where the cottonwood growsAt the bend in the river where the cottonwood growsI can close my eyes and it takes me backTo two young lovers on that riverbank
