Beneath the old oak tree at the edge of town
Stars lit up the sky as we laid our blanket down
We'd talk until the dawn about dreams we'd never share
In that hidden spot where we never had a care
The river ran beside us whispering its tune
Fireflies danced around us beneath the summer moon
We carved our names in bark a promise to return
To the place where our hearts forever in love would burn
Where the river bends our memories reside
Love once so deep no secrets left to hide
In that sacred space where time stands still so slow
We'll always have the place where we used to go
We'd sneak there after school where no one else could find
Sharing stolen kisses leaving worries far behind
You'd bring your old guitar and we'd sing our favorite songs
In that cherished place where we felt we belonged
Seasons slowly changed but our love remained the same
Winter's chill summer's heat it all called out our name
Now I'm standing here alone with echoes from the past
In the place where our love was made to last
Where the river bends our memories reside
Love once so deep no secrets left to hide
In that sacred space where time stands still so slow
We'll always have the place where we used to go
Where the river bends our memories reside
Love once so deep no secrets left to hide
In that sacred space where time stands still so slow
We'll always have the place where we used to go
