The Oak Ridge Boys — Standin By The River

Now when me and Ginny were sweet sixteen We'd go down to the river at night Take a brand new penny make a wish and then Throw it into the river wide She would never tell me what she wished I never told her mine, standin' by the river We were standin' by the river Holding to each other Dreamin' bout the other side Well now we got married and we moved away Had to leave the easy world behind But we took whatever God carried our way Made the best out of the hardest times I would hold her in my arms at night Dreamin' of the times standin' by the river We were standin' by the river Holding to each other Dreamin' bout the other side We were just like that old river Saw a lot of things come and go But the love we had for one another Kept on flowing Now I've still got my Ginny, it's been twelve years And we're back upon the riverbank Gonna throw me a penny in the river again Gonna say a little word of thanks God I hope her every wish came true I know I got mine, standin' by the river We were standin' by the river Holding to each other Dreamin' bout the other side We were standin' by the river Holding to each other Dreamin' bout the other side Yer – Standin' by the river, Standin' by the river Standin' by the river
