She kisses the boy and she turns out the light
And there's only the sound of the wind
She thinks of the man who calls them sometimes
She's glad that he is their friend
Too old to dream, too young not to hope
The more that she's seen the more she lets go
And
the sun goes down on the river
And the night comes up on the field
You don't have to promise me forever
Just be with me as long as it's real
Be with me as long as it's real
He
asks himself as he lays down to sleep
Can he raise another man's son
And give the woman the strength that she needs
It's something that he's never done
She's not like the girls who once made life so sweet
She just sees the man that he dreamed he could be
And
the sun goes down on the river
And the night comes up on the field
You don't have to promise me forever
Just be with me as long as it's real
Be with me as long as it's real
Oh
they told us fairytales come true
Then they told us to beware
And then they told us believers are the fools
Ah but I still care
The lights go out all up the coast
And he turns his back to the chill
The thought of her follows him just like a ghost
And he knows now that it always will
Til there comes a day when he doesn't care why
Til they find their way to each others sides
And
the sun goes down on the river
And the night comes up on the field
You don't have to promise me forever
Just be with me as long as it's real
Be with me as long as it's real
Be with me as long as it's real
