The silver, singing river now is quiet
And the rainbow from the sky has disappeared
The beauty from my true love, I remember
Has left nothing now but memories, that are smeared
The wide eyes of my true love, used to warm me
Just to know she would be waiting, brought me through
But the heartbeat of my true love now is silent
And brought me to this point, of feeling blue
But there will come a time again, I'll lay beside her
And we will be together for all time
Because true love only comes once in a lifetime
And the one that lays beside me, I know was mine!
Author notes
Here is the verse: Bob Dylan Song for the prompt - feelings
There's beauty in that silver singing river
There's beauty in that rainbow in the sky
But none of these, and nothing else can match the beauty
That I remember in my own true loves eyes
Yes and only if my own true love was waiting
If I could hear her heart a softly pounding
Yes and only if she was lying by me
The I'd lie in my bed, once again
