"By The Bend In The River" lyrics - BETTY CARTER

Have you ever seen such an evening?
Have you ever seen such a sky?
Have you ever felt so peaceful inside?
Neither have I

Have you noticed that old river?
So quietly sliding by
Have you ever seen the grass so green?
Neither have I

Can't think of a place I'd rather be
Than the one on which I stand
I'm happy with my people
Happy with my home, happy with my land

Don't know how to explain it
Don't even think I'll try
But I could spend till my days end
Here with the river going by

Come on down and join us
Tell your cares and worries goodbye
'Cause hearts can mend
With family and friend
On this bend, with the river goin' by

Don't know how to explain it
Don't even think I'll try
But I'm content to spend, till my days end
Here on the bend, with the river going by
