It's tears in the river

He's gone, gone forever

He's a sun that's setting

So, go on, girl, forget him

Diamonds on the water

Are here if you want 'em

I swear, if we're together

I could love you better

Than tears in the river (tears in the river)

In the heart of Alabama, where the sweet magnolias bloom

There's a young girl with a heart that's broke in two

And she feels all out of luck now

Doesn't know, just feels so stuck now

All alone and hurt from what he put her through

If you let him roll out with the tide

I know I can dry those

Tears in the river

He's gone, gone forever

He's a sun that's setting

So, go on, girl, forget him

Diamonds on the water

Are here if you want 'em

I swear, if we're together

I could love you better

Than tears in the river (tears in the river)

There's a young boy with a guitar, and he's got some songs for you

Whatcha say, girl, if he wrote you a line or two?

Come on, hop up in this truck now

Drive to Nashville, chasing luck now

Watch the memories wash away in that rearview

If you let him roll out with the tide

I know I can dry those

Tears in the river

He's gone, gone forever

He's a sun that's setting

So, go on, girl, forget him

Diamonds on the water

Are here if you want 'em

I swear, if we're together

I could love you better

Than tears in the river (tears in the river)

(Tears in the river)

(He's gone, gone forever)

(I swear, if we're together)

(I could love you better)

(Than tears in the river)
