Don’t Rush the River Janis Ian

[Verse 1]
I looked at the sky and asked
"Why is this valley so deep and so wide?
When I know love's waiting just over that mountain
Why can't I fly?"
And the wind replied

[Chorus]
Don't rush the river
Let it run deep and slow
Don't rush the river
It goes where it needs to go
And in love's sweet time
You'll wake up and find
You've finally made it home
Don't rush the river
Just let it flow

[Verse 2]
I walked in the silence
And wondered why love takes so long to find
Then I saw the beauty that sprang up around me
It bathed my eyеs
And my heart sighed

[Chorus]
Don't rush the rivеr
Let it run deep and slow
Don't rush the river
It goes where it needs to go
In love's sweet time
You'll wake up and find
You've finally made it home
(Don't) Don't (Don't)
Don't rush, Don't rush the river
Just let it flow
All you can do is let it flow
