We've only just begun
To run, run, run
We've only just begun!
I'm doing it all for fun

Before you I lived my life in the rain,
Hiding away behind closed window panes.


Now I've found, i've found the words to say,
Now I've found the notes to sing in.


Sweet harmony, Sweet harmony.


Once I couldn't get alone,
The whole world seemed strange to me,
Something must be wrong,
Now I've found the words to say,
Now I've found the notes to sing in.


Sweet harmony, Sweet harmony.

Verse 1

From this valley they say you are going
We will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
For they say you are taking the sunshine
That has brightened my pathway awhile

Verse 2
Come and sit by my side if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
Just remember the Red River Valley
And the cowboy who loves you so true

Verse 3

Won’t you think of the valley you’re leaving
O how lonesome, how sad it will be?
O think of the fond heart you’re breaking
Every grief you are causing to me.

Verse 4
Come and sit by my side if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
Just remember the Red River Valley
And the cowboy who loves you so true
And the cowboy who loves you so true
