4: CHARISSE
Oh what a gorgeous lady, with her golden hair.
Reaching down past her shoulders, along skin so fair.
Walking down by the river, oh I wish I knew,
If I had the chance to hold her, what else could I do?
If I had the chance to hold her, all my dreams come true.
A lady like this is so rare, and worth talking to.
A river runs free and easy, till it splashes down.
Like the feelings that start to seize me, when you're around.
The dark clouds have all passed over, and the sun is out.
How I would like to know just, what she's all about.
Walking across an old bridge, to the other side.
Should I confess my feelings, or just let them ride.
Should I confess my feelings, that I hate to hide,
Or risk being somewhat forward, and in her confide
A river runs free and easy, till it rushes down.
Like the feelings that always please me, when you're around.
The times that I always hoped for, seemed to never come.
Myself I still consider, luckier than some.
Parked along side the river, thinking of a friend,
Who in her own way told me, how to live again.
Who in her own way showed me, this is not the end.
Beholding her kind of beauty, my torn heart could mend.
A river runs free and easy, till it plunges down.
Like the feelings that start to seize me, when you're around.
A river runs free and easy, till it plunges down.
Like the feelings that always please me, when you're around.
I say thank-you, I say it with all my heart I do, I say thank-you.
Thank-you.
