I found a love
Deep as the river runs
 I knew my life had begun
when I found a love

as deep as the river runs

I found a love
in an unlikely place
in a west Texas oil patch
just outside the human race

I was a young man
didnt know if I could
didnt know if I ever would

find a love
as warm as the sun
as deep as  the river runs

when I saw her standing there
couldnt help but stare
beautiful young woman
with long brunett hair

she turned and smiled at me
it was plain to see
I found what I had been lookin for
someone I could adore

I had found a love
as deep as the river runs

now almost thirty two years later
it couldnt get any better

both older and grey
but I just had to say

I found a love
warm as the sun
and
as deep as the river runs

I knew my life had begun
when I found a love

as deep as the river runs

there is no better sound
than the love that I found

it's as warm as the sun
and as
deep
as the river runs
