Written by: Todd Rakestraw/Happy Valley Music BMI

(Intro chords: D A Bm D G A)

D A Bm
I've lived a life full of sorrow
D G A
With no where to run or to hide
D A Bm
Happiness you'll see is borrowed
G A D
All I want is you by my side

(Chorus)
D G
Gentle river take me away
A D
To the time of happier days
D Bm7 D G
All I need is love and company

All I need is you here with me...
