its a long winding way through the mad river valley through the forests and mountains green to the cabin we shared by the wild running river the most perfect ive ever seen i live my life one the banks of the water singing my song to you and all through my days ill remember you always i never knew love so true it s a tangled old past through the thick byers and brambles down to where the wild roses bloom and open their hearts in the heat of the summer and freeze beneath the silver moon i live my life on the banks of the water singing my song to you and all through my days ill remember you remember you always i never knew love like you its a tumbling run down the bear creek canon through the rocks and the mountain sage its a trembling stream in the frozen winter running strong when the spring waters break i live my life on the banks of the water singing my songs to you and all through my days ill remember you always i never knew love so true i never knew love like you
