Lyrics

Verse
In the shade of a willow tree, along the water’s edge
We whiled away an afternoon, sitting on a cool stone ledge
Talking ‘bout our dreams and the things we both would see
With the innocence of children, needing only to believe
On a summer sunset evening in a gently rising mist
Something sparked in both of us, it was then that we first kissed
Starting out as best friends, we grew to be much more
Sharing life and love together like we’d never done before

Pre-Chorus
We grew up on Mulberry Creek, swimming where the water was cool and deep
Fishing from the bridge on old Chapel Hill Road
As we grew older we’d sit and talk, or just hold hands and quietly walk
Along those shifting sands, we’d come to know

Chorus
Mulberry Creek, your waters kept on flowing
Mulberry Creek, was there any way of knowing
That things would turn out differently from what we thought they ought to be?
That she could live so happily without me
Mulberry Creek

Verse
We scraped our way through high school, it was us against the world
We laughed and cried together as our teenage years unfurled
Talking about the future, and how our love would last
But now looking in the mirror, I can’t believe our time has passed

Pre-Chorus
Life blew by in a blinding blur
She went to college, I went to work
Building our future with our hearts and with our hands
But she met him in her second year, and told me then while fighting back tears
She and he had made their wedding plans

Chorus
Mulberry Creek, your waters kept on flowing
Mulberry Creek, was there any way of knowing
That things would turn out differently from what we thought they ought to be?
That she could live so happily without me
Mulberry Creek, your waters kept on flowing
Mulberry Creek, was there any way of knowing
That things would turn out differently from what we thought they ought to be?
That she could live so happily without me
Mulberry Creek
