Sunny afternoon on the riverside

Children playing games of seek and hid

They throw the colored ball and they hide away

But the devil stopped their harmless play

Little tommy try to catch the ball

Tumbled into the water and he lost control

But Mary's little hand couldn't save the boy

Pain is

When you loose a friend and then she cried

Tell me

Little river

Tell me when a love has gone

For him I wait forever

Till the morning he will return

Tell me

Little river

Why don't you give him back

Send him this little flower

As long as I live he can't be dead

Little children playing on the shore

They don't talk about it anymore

What had happened on that warm September day

Sometimes in the wind you hear a prayer

Tell me

Little river

Tell me when a love has gone

For him I wait forever

Till the morning he will return

Tell me

Little river

Why don't you give him back

Send him this little flower

As long as I live he can't be dead

Tell me

Little river

Tell me when a love has gone

For him I wait forever

Till the morning he will return

Tell me

Little river
