[Verse 1]
Old man moon across the swampy river rise
Casts his quiet reflection in your eyes
So lead me beside the still waters
Let me love you down on deep river
[Verse 2]
Hear the crickets singing for a mile
And the sound of the bullfrogs makes you smile
So lead me beside the still waters
Let me love you down on deep river
[Bridge]
It's like heaven when I'm loving you
Times so far away
And you know all my favorite songs to sing
You know the words to say
[Verse 3]
So come, follow me down the quiet side
And taste this old river deep and wide
And lead me beside the still waters
And let me love you down on deep river
[Instrumental - Guitar solo]
[Bridge]
And the night bird's calling
And I'm falling more in love each day
Want you sit by my side
And hold to my hand and love me all the way
[Verse 4]
And we'll leave all the highways far behind
And just take a little blanket with the wine
And lead me beside the still waters
Let me love you down on deep river
[Outro]
Lead me beside the still waters
Let me love you down on deep river
