The River of My childhood

verse1

Down by the river of my childhood, 

Blue water winding through the trees. 

Fish are dancing in the sunlight, 

I smell the flowers in the breeze. 

Children's laughter echoes softly, 

Skipping stones and makeshift boats. 

Beneath the shade of old oak branches, 

We'd swim until the daylight floats.

verse2

The river sings in gentle ripples, 

Clear water over smooth, round stones. 

Grass and herbs brush against our toes, 

The clapotis of water sets the tone. 

Memories of fishing by the bank, 

Tiny hands and secret dreams. 

Floating in a world of childhood, 

The river carries all our schemes.

chorus

The river of my childhood, flows so free, 

Blue and sparkling, calling me. 

Every bend and tree, every secret nook, 

I see my childhood in every look.
