Run softly blue river my darlin's asleep   Run softly blue river run cool and deep   Run softly blue river my darlin's asleep   Run softly blue river run cool and deep      Oh, I thrill to her kisses and she thrills to mine   Run softly while she sleeps and dreams for a time   'Cause she dreams of tomorrow when she'll be my wife   And I pray that as peaceful as you is our life      And if your murmuring soothes me till I'm sleeping too   Run softly blue river we'll both dream with you      Run softly blue river my darlin's asleep   Run softly blue river run cool and deep      Oh, I thrill to her kisses and she thrills to mine   Run softly while she sleeps and dreams for a time   'Cause she dreams of tomorrow when she'll be my wife   And I pray that as peaceful as you is our life      And if your murmuring soothes me till I'm sleeping too   Run softly blue river we'll both dream with you      Run softly blue river my darlin's asleep   Run softly blue river run cool and deep   Run softly blue river my darlin's asleep   Run softly blue river run cool and deep      Run softly blue river my darlin's asleep   Run softly blue river
