Tell me what you think, tell me what you feel
is this thing a fake, or is it for real
is it what you hoped for, what you dreamed
is it something strange, that you never seen
Does it lift you up, closer to the light
does it send you raging into the night
where did it begin, will it ever end
where the sun sets and the river bends
Where the river bends, is a place I've been
the water's not as blue, and the grass well it ain't so green
the current gets strong, it can pull you down
you gotta swim hard, if you want to turn around
But I don't want to go there, baby not with you
I'm happy right here, now I got a love that's true
so let's stay awhile, and invite our friends
no one needs to go where the river bends
No no no
No no no
No no no
No no no
I don't want to go there, baby ever again
I'm gonna be with you right here till the very end
so let's stay forever and ever and ever amen
no one needs to go where the river bends
No no no
No no no
No no no
