Riverside
By Dave Sherman
Open C Capo 3
Seventeen and I’m already grown
A dozen friends, but I feel so alone
I’ve made mistakes that I try to hide
Will you meet us at the riverside?
See my mama wouldn’t understand
See my daddy is a preacher man
It’ll break his heart
It’ll crush his pride
Will you meet us at the riverside?
CHORUS
Yes, we’ll meet you at the riverside
With loving hearts and arms open wide
And we’ll celebrate as you share this life
We’ll meet you at the riverside
Teach her how she can dance and play
Teach her that there’s a better way
Give her hugs and kisses every single day
Will you meet us at the riverside?
She’ll need a mama who will understand
A strong daddy like a preacher man
She might break his heart
She might crush his pride
(but) Will you meet us at the riverside?
Chorus
Bridge
I know you’ll love her as your own
I’d love to see her when she’s grown
And I’ll pray for you every day and night
Will you meet us at the riverside?
