Since we were founded as a lyrics site, we oughta have lyrics: RIVER RIVER (Ben Oakland and Bob Russell, as recorded by Peggy Lee) River, river, what did you murmur to my lover? Restless river, he followed you out to sea. Mountain, mountain, where is the echo of my lover? Mountain, river, O why won't you answer me? Where there once were sounds of laughter, It's as silent as a tear; There was always music after He was here. Misty morning, why do you hide me from my lover? River, river, O please bring him back to me. Was he restless as the river? Was he eager to be gone? Still my love is like a river And goes on. Misty morning, why do you hide me from my lover? River, river, O please bring him back to me. Can't say the lyrics are profound, but Peggy Lee certainly made a wonderful recording of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=as1li7BzRYw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qdF64M276Q
