Lyrics:


  • D F#m G D
  • It's a long winding way through the Mad River Valley
  • D Bm A
  • Through the forest and mountains green
  • D F#m G D
  • To the cabin we shared by the wild running river
  • D A G D
  • The most perfect I've ever seen

  • I'll live my life on the banks of the water,
  • singing my song to you
  • And all through my days I'll remember you always,
  • I never knew love so true

  • It's a tangled old path through the thick briars and brambles
  • Down to where the wild roses bloom
  • They open their hearts in the heat of the summer
  • And freeze 'neath the silver moon

  • I'll live our life on the banks of the water,
  • singing my song to you
  • All through my days I'll remember you always
  • I never knew love like you

  • It's a tumbling run down the Bear Creek Canyon
  • Through the rock and the mountain sage
  • It's a trickling stream in the frozen winter
  • Running strong when the spring waters rain

  • I'll live my life on the banks of the water,
  • singing my song to you
  • And all through my days I'll remember you always
  • I never knew love so true

  • I'll live my life on the banks of the water,
  • singing my song to you
  • And all through my days I'll remember you always
  • I never knew love like you
