bend of the river lyrics

Have you ever seen such an evening?
Have you ever seen such a sky?
Have you ever felt so peaceful inside?
Neither have I...

Have you noticed that old river?
so quietly sliding by...
Have you ever seen the grass so green?
Neither have I

Can't think of a place I'd rather be,
than the one on which I stand.
I'm happy with my people;
Happy with my home... Happy with my land..

Don't know how to explain it,
Don't even think I'll try.
But I could spend till my day's end
Here with the river going by..

Come on down and join us...
Tell your cares and worries goodbye.
'cause hearts can mend
With family and friend
On this bend, with the river...
Go-in' by...

Don't know how to explain it,
Don't even think I'll try.
But I'm content to spend, till my day's end
Here on the bend.... with the river...
Go-ing by....
