River, river, silver streams
And fishes swimming onward
Jumping in the spray
Of water lapping at your feet
In to my own heart you flow
You know I'll never ever let you go
All you need is love
To show you the way from here
Oh dear won't you come near
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
All you need is love
To show you the way from here
Oh dear won't you come near

In to my own heart you flow
You know I'll never ever let you go
All you need is love
To show you the way from here
All you need is love
To show you the way from here
All you need is love
