Seals, Dan - Why This River Runs Lyrics






The sound of your name is like the wind on the water
On the surface it dances with the light of the moon
Below the reflection deep as a heartbeat
All that I am starts flowing to you

Why this river runs to you
No matter where you are
Why it always flows straight to
The ocean of your heart
It’s because all that I am and all that is true
Was meant to be a part of you
Forever no matter what comes
That’s why this river runs

The light of your smile is like the glow of the morning
Full of the promise of an untouched day
Wherever I look you fill the horizon
And my heart without question is swept away

Why this river runs to you
No matter where you are
Why it always flows straight to
The ocean of your heart
It’s because all that I am and all that is true
Was meant to be a part of you
Forever no matter what comes
That’s why this river runs

It’s because all that I am and all that is true
Was meant to be a part of you
Forever no matter what comes
That’s why this river runs
That’s why this river runs

    One of my favorite artist and probably one of americas great song writer

  13. L.... W....

    Whenever there's an opportunity to make a public comment about this gifted artist's lyrics,VALUES, talent in Performing and arranging.... I can't say enough. So I ended up this evening answering almost every comment after what I think it's the most intense performance Billy Dean has ever done of "I'm in Love with You."

    L.... W....

    My previous comments were about Billy Dean. You should see him perform "Sailing." and then put the two of these artists together if you look for a few of their tapes. Incredibly moving.!!

  14. T.... T....

    rest in peace brother..-.your voice is such unique

  15. A.... S....

    Was für ein schönes Lied. Ich habe Dan Seals das erste mal vor vielen Jahren im WDR bei Dave Colmans Country Countdown gehört. Seit dem ist er einer meiner Lieblingssänger. Mit "meet me in Montana" hat alles angefangen...

  16. T.... D....

    Was so sad to hear of his passing...great artist gone

  17. T.... D....

    Met him and his band.....such lovely guys....very sweet...

  18. a.... l....

    It’s because all that I am and all that is true
    Was meant to be a part of you
    Forever no matter what comes

    No more words needed...All that I am was meant to be a part of you and that is so true, BB. I love you with all my heart and soul. Kissing you ~ Ranzie

    The song is in the upper echelon. A distasteful situation to have something so beautiful hidden away from listeners that would enjoy it. Thanks for sharing, Barbara, my friend. I will share it.
