Until I take my final breath In a year or even less I hope you will give me all your time And do not forget me down the line And I will never ask you if you will stay Or if you will cry when I go away Ice melting into the sea Your river flowing back to

And where are you now Now that I need you Tears on my pillow Wherever you go I'll cry me a river That leads to your ocean You never see me fall apart In the words of a broken heart It's just emotion that's taken me over

Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you Big River Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die I met her accidentally in St. Paul,

Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you Big River Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die I met her accidentally in St. Paul,

Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you Big River Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die I met her accidentally in St. Paul,
