Loggins, Kenny - Watching The River Run Lyrics
If you've been thinking you're all that you've got,
Then don't feel alone anymore.
When we're together, then you've got alot,
'Cause I am the river and you are the shore.
Further and further from things that we've done,
Leaving them one by one.
And we have just begun watching the river run.
Listening and learning and yearning.
Run, river, run.
Winding and swirling and dancing along,
We pass by the old willow tree
Where lovers caress as we sing of our song,
Twisting together when we greet the sea.
And it goes on and on, watching the river run,
Further and further from things that we've done,
Leaving them one by one.
And we have just begun watching the river run.
Listening and learning and yearning.
Run, river, run.
And it goes on and on, watching the river run,
Further and further from things that we've done,
Leaving them one by one.
And we have just begun watching the river run.
Listening and learning and yearning.
Run, river, run.

Loggins, Kenny Watching The River Run Comments
fantastic playing on jan 29, 2020, sounds fresh and bright!
For some unknown reason this song came in my head....and I just had to hear it. Thanks
When I die me and dad are going on a bike ride. Like we used to. Join us?
Some of Kenny's and Jim's finest work IMHO!
Thanks me later... 😂😂😂
If you've been thinkin' you were all that you've got
Then don't feel alone anymore
'Cause when we're together then you've got a lot
'Cause I am the river and you are the shore
And it goes on and on, watching the river run
Further and further from things that we've done
Leaving them one by one
And we have just begun, watching the river run
Listening and learning and yearning to run, river, run
Winding and swirling and dancing along
We passed by the old willow tree
Where lovers caress as we sing them our song,
Rejoicing together when we greet the sea
And it goes on and on, watching the river run
Further and further from things that we've done
Leaving them one by one
And we have just begun, watching the river run
Listening and learning and yearning to run, river, run

Gorgeous. Thanks, Fellas. This song is so good!
Ressica falls sang this
24, out of the Army, Big Bear Lake California, 1974.
This is a great song, another one of those feel good songs that Kenny Loggins is so great at writing (or co-writing as the case may be). It was even better on vinyl, but even a' plain old CD' can't hide the artistry and talent here.
I like everything they ever recorded
I closed my eyes and think of the past.
I can so relate...
dedicated to Mark Paraplino
Goodness, still so fantastically marvellous after so many years. Love it!!!
The intro sounds like "Thick as a Brick."
One of my all time faves. Brings back memories of college.
beautiful
This was my 8th Grade Graduation commencement walk on song! I hated it back then, and didn't quite get it as I only liked glam rock, but as I grew up, I realized how beautiful it really is. Ah, to be 14 again....
Still love glam rock though!
Resica falls? Anyone?
Further and further from things that we've done leaving them one by one
still have my 45. love love love this song. it can take me back to very to a great time in my life.
After about 40 years of distance between my dad and I, I asked him one day to come with me on a hike to the Ohio River. I took him to a remote area on the Indiana shore where we would spend the day looking for artifacts, projectile points. My two oldest sons were with me, dad in the front seat. I put this song on the stereo casette tape in the van as we descended down the road toward the river. We parked and dad was so curious as to how we could just walk along and spot a beautiful 5,000 year old artifact. Less than 20 minutes after we arrived, he found a St. Charles dovetail point, made of a sandy colored chert. Success was achieved in the hunt for artifacts, and the hunt for a better relationship between us. Every time I hear this song, I remember that day and how it was a turning point in my life. Dad passed away about two years later, but this one day totally erased the previous 40 wasted years. A wonderful time, a wonderful memory. Allow me to quote from the Counting Crows song, Mrs Robinson's Lullaby : " If dreams are like movies, then memories are films about ghosts." Happy & sad simultaneously.
All my people that I have lost on my journey .....
Also beautiful
It never ages this song, I love it
My fav. song of all time! LOVE it!
This song evokes some great memories of one great summer in Montreal growing up and having a crush on a girl . Never materialized , but every time I hear it , I will always smile :)
is this that used Kenny loggins record.. shit.. take the $4
lucky to see them in concert,oh the old days and concerts,santana,clapton hendrix,poco,johnny winter,chicago,om and on,peace to all.
Timeless Beauty...
Sandy. here you go , thank you.
I remember this song from this Shirley Temple commercial/ad that was on a few of my VHS tapes growing up. It was sung by someone else though, and I can't figure out who did that version :/ Any help?????
omg I couldn't figure out where I heard this song before and the mystery's solved :O
Same! I knew it was from some VHS tape I had growing up!
If you search "20th Century Fox the Shirley Temple Collection Run River Run" on YouTube it comes up! So much nostalgia :)
From the Mrs. Doubtfire VHS !
Same, I grew up with the Shirley Temple VHS tapes and this song would come out before the movies. I finally found the song years later and it bought back so many memories.

Love, sweetness and light. Memories of my man, 25 years together, pregnant with our son when we saw them in R.I.
Reminds me of times long ago with the only man I ever really loved. He's watching the river run from heaven now. And I'm listening and learning and yearning...watching the river run from down here.
Catherine Leeper-Krans ♡
May You meet again, in Joy and Love.
Catherine, may this beautiful music comfort you as you think of those wonderful days now gone by, knowing that the only man you ever loved has crossed over that river that we all shall cross one day
ZoraNeale Houston in her book, "Their Eyes Were Watching God," (written in 1937,) descibes love as being the sea meeting the shore, always a different shore." It was reading her book that brought this song back to mind.
remember sitting on the roof of a building watching the sun come up in summertime while listening to this song... unforgettable...
Brings back memories of my husband and I on the Illinois river, when we were dating.
He passed away last May.
Eddie I hope you are sailing on a river in Paradise. Wait for me...
Thank you all. You have truly warmed my heart with your sentiments. Love you 💞
My arms around you, Nancy. My husband has Stage IV Colon Cancer and we are fighting hard to keep him here.
Godspeed, Nancy and Eddie.
He is there silly fool.
Nancy, I'm sorry for your loss. May the music comfort you by bringing back those fond memories that live on in your heart
My parents wedding song.
I love the song but I don't see a river, there should be pics of rivers flowing ....just saying
+Elke Jones Hi, Just close you're eyes and drift off down the river of your imagination. You must have seen a river at some time, right?
+Elke Jones the river is your life it's the first thing you see every day when you wake up...
I agree! I am not watching the video...it's just distracting me from the memories of sitting and watching the Spring River in Hardy, AR flow peacefully by.
I love the song but
So mellow and serene ,how could anyone not love their harmonies and musicianship?One of the all-time great duos we are lucky enough to have had!
+Gregory Roessner Couldn't agree more :D
All the zesty, refreshing commercial crap illusion in the world will NOT make me want to drink Mountain Dew (puke) drink.
This is my favorite of theirs. They opened their show in Dayton, Ohio about four years ago with this song. Perfect start for a perfect evening.
so smooth
Best singers ever!And that's my favorite song of theirs. I've been a BIG fan since "Sitting in". Any person that gives thumbs down,,, was , drunk or stupid, or they don't know music.
This song gives me chills. Reminds me of my mother, she used to play this when I was very little. I miss you so much mom. Gone too soon.
@Terry Izell ça fait de beaux enfants pacifiques, écouter les chansons de Login et Messina ! <3
+Terry Izell My husband who sadly died at the tender age of 35 introduced me to this when I was just 20, back in 1986. So even though I wasn't young like you at the time, I know where you're coming from. Both gone way too soon ! Just treasure every memory
Your comment also gave me chills. My mom used to sing this song to me when I was also very little. I didn't know that it was a popular song - honestly, I thought that she had made it up until I came across this recording. My mom passed away last year and hearing this song, almost exactly the way that I remember her singing it, helps keep her memory present. Thank you for sharing your comment.
I love you all and pray for you. I miss my Mom so much. This is what YouTube is all about and how we care for and heal each other. God be with us all. I will pray for all of you in the comments right now when I hit "save." love to all. :/< Prayers for everyone and those we miss.
Play this with French Waltz by Nicolette Larson. Great slow set I used to play as a club DJ in the late 70's
Funny you should make that comment-I always loved Nicolette's French Waltz too and considered it a slow song, until I tried to waltz to it! It ain't a slow DANCE song!
love this song
timeless soul soothing music
who are the 2 fools who gave a thumbs down >
They drowned.
@haggardly79 idiots
haggardly79 not me. Reminds me of the happiest times of my life...the 70's. I loved Loggins and Messina, Poco, America, and the other groups with that special sound.
🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
you mean 68??
I have loved this song all of my days ! <3
one of my faves!! it makes me happy and calm :)
Yacht Rock......
....excellent
NO SUCH GENRE. It's just Loggins and Messina. We never called it that. Fucking insulting.
My most fav song
..thank you
Man does this bring back memories
my favorite song by Loggins and Messina! Also was reason to visit Hawaii!
...and, as always, there's just one girl this song belongs to.
From a time, as I recall, when life was about smokin up, kickin back, and being on the water. :-)
My favorite from them....
