"Tears In The River" lyrics

It's tears in the river
He's gone, gone forever
He's a sun that's settin'
So go on, girl, forget him
Diamonds on the water
Are here if you want 'em
I swear, if we're together
I could love you better
Than tears in the river

In the heart of Alabama, where the sweet magnolias bloom
There's a young girl with a heart that's broke in two
And she feels all out of luck now
Doesn't know, just feels so stuck now
All alone and hurt from what he put her through

If you let him roll out with the tide
I know I can dry those

Tears in the river
He's gone, gone forever
He's a sun that's settin'
So go on, girl, forget him
Diamonds on the water
Are here if you want 'em
I swear, if we're together
I could love you better
Than tears in the river

There's a young boy with a guitar and he's got some songs for you
Whatcha say, girl, if he wrote you a line or two?
C'mon hop up in this truck now
Drive to Nashville, chasin' luck now
Watch the memories wash away in that rearview

If you let him roll out with the tide
I know I can dry those

Tears in the river
He's gone, gone forever
He's a sun that's settin'
So go on, girl, forget him
Diamonds on the water
Are here if you want 'em
I swear, if we're together
I could love you better
Than tears in the river

Tears in the river
He's gone, gone forever
I swear, if we're together
I could love you better
Than tears in the river
