Intro verse 1 Well, I remember living On the western coast of France Only seventeen when the girl first took my heart And though I’ve seen the rivers They never looked as good as you And though I’ve seen the rivers They never looked as good as you verse 2 Sometimes the lantern shines down Sometimes they show your face Sometimes I have to close off Anything just to save a trace And though I’ve seen the rivers They never looked as good as you And though I’ve seen the rivers All they ever do is remind me of you Instrumental verse 3 Oh, Well I could’ve loved you You know I once believed in you Oh, you know I could have loved you Every word I said must be true But though I’ve seen the rivers They never looked as good as you And though I’ve seen the rivers They only remind me of you Instrumental
