Cool me in the river of love, cool me in the river of love
Cool me in the river of love, lay me down in the water
Lay me down in the water

It seems everything's gone wrong today
Twenty four hours just thrown away
Broke my back, still the bills' ain't paid
Oh baby take my hand

Cool me in the river of love, cool me in the river of love
Cool me in the river of love, lay me down in the water
Lay me down in the water

When I feel low like I do right now
You always lift me up somehow
You lay your hands on my fevered brow
And my troubles all flow away

Cool me in the river of love, cool me in the river of love
Cool me in the river of love, lay me down in the water
Lay me down in the water

Well that river of love is sweet as wine
Healing my body while it soothes my mind
It makes this whole world seem to shine
Everything's new again
Cool me in the river of love, cool me in the river of love
Cool me in the river of love, lay me down in the water
Lay me down in the water
