When The River Meets The Sea 
Words & Music by Williams
sung by John Denver

from A Christmas Together (1979)


           
          G                   G7
When the mountain touches the valley
          C
All the clouds are taught to fly
        G                                       D  D7
As our souls will leave this land most peacefully
            G                    G7
Though our minds be filled with questions
        C                  A
In our hearts we'll understand
          G     D         C   G
When the river meets the sea

         G               G7
Like a flower that has blossomed
         C
In the dry & barren sand
        G                             D  D7
We are born & born again most gracefully
          G                  G7
Thus the winds of time will take us
        C               A
With a sure and steady hand
          G     D         C   G  G7
When the river meets the sea

 C                        G
Patience, my brother and patience, my son
          A
In that sweet and final hour
           D               D7
Truth and justice will be done

        G                G7
Like a baby when it is sleeping
        C
In its loving mother's arms
        G                             D  D7
What a newborn baby dreams is a mystery
         G                G7
But his life will find a purpose
        C                A
And in time he'll understand
          G     D         C   G
When the river meets the sea
          G     D         C D   D7 G
When the river meets the almighty sea!!
