Riverbank Memories

Down by the river where the willows sway We cast our lines at the break of day Old man's stories and fishin' tales With the morning mist and the whisperin' gales Grandpa's tackle box rusted and old Holds secrets and treasures memories bold We'd sit in silence feelin' the breeze Watchin' the ripples in perfect ease Oh riverbank memories driftin' by Catchin' the sunlight in the clear blue sky Those lazy days where time stood still By the gentle river beside the hill Kids runnin' wild barefoot and free Skippin' stones across eternity That old rope swing hangin' high We'd laugh and play until the fireflies In the hush of twilight we'd share a tune Under the blanket of a harvest moon Voices minglin' with the night sounds Wrapped in stories that knew no bounds Oh riverbank memories driftin' by Catchin' the sunlight in the clear blue sky Those lazy days where time stood still By the gentle river beside the hill
