Its a long winding way through the mad river valley
Through the forests and mountains green
To the cabin we shared. By the wild running river
The most perfect Ive ever seen
I live my life one the banks of the water
Singing my song to you
And all through my days, Ill remember you always
I never knew love so true
It's a tangled old past through the thick byers and brambles
Down to where the wild roses bloom
And open their hearts in the heat of the summer
And freeze beneath the silver moon
I live my life on the banks of the water
Singing my song to you
And all through my days Ill remember you remember you always
I never knew love like you
Its a tumbling run down the bear creek canon
Through the rocks and the mountain sage
Its a trembling stream in the frozen winter
Running strong when the spring waters break
I live my life on the banks of the water
Singing my songs to you
And all through my days Ill remember you always
I never knew love so true
I never knew love like you
