It's a long winding way to the Mad River valley
Through the forest and mountains green
To the cabin we share by the wide, running river
The most perfect I've ever seen
I'll live my life on the banks of the water
Singing my song to you
And all through my days, I'll remember you always
I never knew love so true
It's a tangled old path through the thick briers and brambles
Down to where the wild roses bloom
They'll open their hearts in the heat of the summer
And freeze beneath the silver moon
I'll live my life on the banks of the water
Singing my song to you
And all through my days, I'll remember you always
I never knew love like you
It's a tumbling run down the Bear Creek canyon
Through the rocks and mountain sage
It's a trickling stream in the frozen winter
Running strong when the spring waters break
I'll live my life on the banks of the water
Singing my song to you
And all through my days, I'll remember you always
I never knew love so true
