Down by the riverside, where old oaks stretch to skies
I met her in the twilight, where the softest winds arise
The air was filled with the scent of pine, the night when first we met
Beneath a crescent moon, a moment to never forget
Riverside serenade, under the starlit gaze
Our hearts danced to the gentle wave, in those early days
By the calm of the water's edge, where secrets softly lay
Our love would always stay, bound in its own way
We shared our dreams by the lantern light, on a blanket by the stream
The world felt right and time stood still, within our shared dream
But as the seasons changed, so did the tide
Leaving memories by the riverside
Riverside serenade, under the starlit gaze
Our hearts danced to the gentle wave, in those early days
By the calm of the water's edge, where secrets softly lay
Our love would always stay, bound in its own way
Now, when I walk alone, where we once walked together
I feel a peace among these banks, in any kind of weather
Though she's gone, the river sings, of love not meant to last
But in its song, I find our past
Riverside serenade, under the starlit gaze
Our hearts danced to the gentle wave, in those early days
By the calm of the water's edge, where secrets softly lay
Our love would always stay, bound in its own way
