I went out walking on a [Db] fine summer day Through [Eb] hills and the valleys, I [Ab] soon lost my way
[Eb] I looked [Ab] into an old man, kneeling [Db] down by a stream Gazing [Eb] into the water, like he was [Ab] lost in a dream
In his [Db] hand was a picture he'd [Ab] learned to for life His eyes [Bb] filled with tears as he tried [Eb] not to cry
Then he looked [Db] to the [Ab] heavens and [Fm] started to pray In the [Db] quiet countryside, [Eb] I could hear [Ab] the man say
Life is a river, I'll go [Db] with the flow And where [Eb] it will take me, the Lord [Ab] only [Eb] knows
I [Ab] miss you sweetheart, your [Db] kindness and love But I [Ab] know one day we'll [Eb] sail away on God's [Ab] ocean above
He said, now young man, you're a stranger [Db] to me Could I bother [Eb] you kindly, for you're a [Ab] comforter to me
[Eb] Today [Ab] I am thinking of a time [Db] long ago And I need to [Eb] tell someone of a girl [Ab] I love so
It's forty [Db]-two years today since [Ab] Rose took my hand And proudly [Bb] I lived a life, her husband, [Eb] her man
Till only [Db] last [Ab] week, son, God took her [Fm]
away As I kissed [Db] her softly, [Eb] these words she [Ab] did say
Life is a river, I'll go with [Db] the flow And where it [Eb] will take me, the Lord [Ab] only knows
[Eb] I miss [Ab] you sweetheart, your kindness [Db] and love But I know [Ab] one day we'll sail [Eb] away on God's ocean [Ab] above
And with that the old man [Db] sent me on [Ab] my way And said, by [Bb] the water I'll kneel for [Eb] the day
I look [Db] at the [Ab] river, [D] starting out on [Fm] its life [Cm] It's where I [Ab] feel close to my beautiful wife
[Eb] I looked [Ab] into an old man, kneeling [Db] down by a stream Gazing [Eb] into the water, like he was [Ab] lost in a dream
In his [Db] hand was a picture he'd [Ab] learned to for life His eyes [Bb] filled with tears as he tried [Eb] not to cry
Then he looked [Db] to the [Ab] heavens and [Fm] started to pray In the [Db] quiet countryside, [Eb] I could hear [Ab] the man say

[Eb] I miss [Ab] you sweetheart, your kindness [Db] and love But I know [Ab] one day we'll sail [Eb] away on God's ocean [Ab] above
And with that the old man [Db] sent me on [Ab] my way And said, by [Bb] the water I'll kneel for [Eb] the day
I look [Db] at the [Ab] river, [D] starting out on [Fm] its life [Cm] It's where I [Ab] feel close to my beautiful wife
