Lyrics
If you will go along with me, we’ll travel with the tide
And I will always keep you on the sheltered side
However rough the way may be, the waters dark and low
Thro’ the stormy weather I will always steer you home
Chorus
Cruising down the river on a Sunday afternoon
With one you love, the sun above waiting for the moon
The old accordion playing a sentimental tune
Cruising down the river on a Sunday afternoon
The birds above all sing of love, a gentle sweet refrain
The winds around all make a sound like softly falling rain
Just two of us together, we’ll plan a honeymoon
Cruising down the river on a Sunday afternoon
Performance
