The Oak Ridge Boys - Standin' By The River lyrics

[The Oak Ridge Boys - Standin' By The River lyrics]

Now when me and Ginny were sweet sixteen
We'd go down to the river at night
Take a brand new penny make a wish and then
Throw it into the river wide
She would never tell me what she wished
I never told her mine, standin' by the river
We were standin' by the river
Holding to each other
Dreamin' bout the other side

Well now we got married and we moved away
Had to leave the easy world behind
But we took whatever God carried our way
Made the best out of the hardest times
I would hold her in my arms at night
Dreamin' of the times standin' by the river
We were standin' by the river
Holding to each other
Dreamin' bout the other side

We were just like that old river


Saw a lot of things come and go
But the love we had for one another
Kept on flowing

Now I've still got my Ginny
It's been twelve years
And we're back upon the riverbank
Gonna throw me a penny in the river again
Gonna say a little word of thanks
God I hope her every wish came true
I know I got mine, standin' by the river
We were standin' by the river
Holding to each other
Dreamin' bout the other side
We were standin' by the river
Holding to each other
Dreamin' bout the other side yer –
Standin' by the river, Standin' by the river
Standin' by the river
