Floating on the river (Song)

1.

Is life aimless as it seems;

all I have are poor boys dreams;

look like water when it gleams,

floating on the river.

 

2.

 

I play on my mandolin;

I’ve got songs that I can sing

for the pennies that they bring,

floating on the river.

 

Chorus:

 

Oh, but at night

when the moons shining bright

like a boat

on the river of stars.

 

Then I delight

in its magical light

and this beaut-

iful world that is ours.

 

3.

 

All I sing’s a nonsense song;

tap in time and strum along,

least my days don’t feel so long

floating on the river.

 

4.

 

Little leaves and things drift by

and all seem aimless as I;

know not where they go or why,

floating on the river.

 

Chorus:

 

Oh, but at night

when the moons shining bright

like a boat

on the river of stars.

 

Then I delight

in its magical light

and this beaut-

iful world that is ours.

 

Bridge:

 

La-la-la, la-la-la-la

La-la-la, la-la-la-la

La-la-la, la-la-la-la

Floating on the river

 

La-la-la, la-la-la-la

La-la-la, la-la-la-la

ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha

Floating on the river
