Run softly, blue river
My darling's asleep
Run softly, blue river
Run cool and deep
Run softly, blue river
My darling's asleep
Run softly, blue river
Run cool and deep
Oh I thrill to her kisses
And she thrills to mine
Run softly while she sleeps
And dreams for a time
Cause she dreams of tomorrow
When she'll be my wife
And I pray that as peaceful
As you is our life
And if your murmuring soothes me
Till I'm sleeping too
Run softly, blue river
We'll both dream with you
Run softly, blue river
My darling's asleep
Run softly, blue river
Run cool and deep
Oh I thrill to her kisses
And she thrills to mine
Run softly while she sleeps
And dreams for a time
Cause she dreams of tomorrow
When she'll be my wife
And I pray that as peaceful
As you is our life
And if your murmuring soothes me
Till I'm sleeping too
Run softly, blue river
We'll both dream with you
Run softly, blue river
My darling's asleep
Run softly, blue river
Run cool and deep
Run softly, blue river
My darling's asleep
Run softly, blue river
Run cool and deep
Run softly, blue river
My darling's asleep
Run softly, blue river
