I can feel the river clapping, clapping
Clapping to my song
And the old Potomac, she is laughing
And I know I'll feel the tugging, tugging
Here before too long
My patience, it will be rewarded
But the silence, she is golden
She is worth the moon and stars
But why am I in the heavens
When the Earth down here is ours?
And whene'er I'm alone,
Or if I am here with you,
I know that I'll be happy, happy
But the silence, she is golden
She is worth the moon and stars
But why am I in the heavens
When the Earth down here is ours?
And whene'er I'm alone,
Or if I am here with you,
I know that I'll be happy, happy
Yes, I know that I'll be happy, happy
Oh, I know that I'll be happy, happy
