Lazy River

Up a lazy river by the old mill run

Lazy, lazy river in the noon day sun

Linger awhile in the shade of the tree

Throw away your troubles, dream a dream of me

You know, before your sister was born

This is what your Mama did for a living

Music opened a whole new world to me

No matter how bad I feel, no matter how sad or sick I am

I just touched these keys and poof, like magic

I always seemed to feel better

I've always known you had talent, Bobbie

This piano is for you, Charlie worked hard for it

See God wouldn't have made you suffer so much

If you weren't gonna make up for it later

How happy you can be

Up a lazy river with me

Throw away your troubles, baby

Dream a dream with me

Up a lazy river with me

From the halfway mark

To be a star, a big star

You gotta be talented obviously

You gotta be tenacious, have charisma

But most importantly, you've gotta have it

A great intangible and you've got it all, Bobbie

You're gonna be bigger than Sinatra

I'd settle for a little Jolson Mama, Mama, Mama

Ah ah ah, there are blue skies up above

Forever long as we're in love

We'll be up a lazy river

Up a crazy lazy river

Up a lazy river

I ain't goin' your way

Get out of my way

Up a lazy river with me
