Rio Esperanza Lyrics

texas to tennessee blue
highway to highway
just to get back to you
with the barren winds blowin
a jealous moon cross the plains
ill only be runnin and callin your name
i should have never left you
after what i held close
with the hours slippin by
from the one i love most
chasing days that take flight
and the mist from my eyes
i die a little each day with you so far away
oh my darlin ive cried these many miles
a kiss in the shadows, a whispered memory
ill be waiting, all of my life, only my only (only my lonely)
rio esperanza, its the river of hope
theres a place in my heart where youll always be
where the shallows run long, and the driftin is free
oh my darlin ive cried these many miles
a kiss in the shadows, a whispered memory
ill be waiting, all of my life, only my only (only my lonely)
rio esperanza, its the river of hope
across windswept hills your voice calms to caress me
like a lover stealing glances
i cant wait to hold you
see the light flicker softly
in a blue silverscape
its such sweet surrender (and) ive come home again
oh my darling
a kiss in the shadows
a whispered memory
i'll be waiting
all of my life
only my only
rio esperanza
it's the river of hope
