The song I Know Why The River Runs is performed by Lee Ann Womack in the album named I Hope You Dance in the year 2000 .
When I reach to hold you, I'll still be alone
When I heard the ringin of the telephone
I'll think it is you
It will not be true
I know why the river runs
To a place somewhere far away
I know why the sky is cryin
When there aren't any words to say
I could play the message that you left for me
I can hear your voice and I could still believe
That you will send me home
But you will never come
I know why the river runs
To a place somewhere far away
I know why the sky is cryin
When there aren't any words to say
There's a silence that I don't want to keep
There's a hole now where my heart used to be
I lie here for so long
But you will never come
I know why the river runs
To a place somewhere far away
I know why the sky is cryin
When there aren't any words to say
I know why the river runs
To a place somewhere far away
I know why the sky is cryin
When there aren't any words to say
