Where Peaceful Waters Flow

Gladys Knight · Other Songs - Gladys Knight

Come and walk with me

We can go where peaceful waters flow



If loneliness surrounds you

And rain clouds always hang around you

And wakin' up each day gets you down

Gets you down, gets you down



And if the life that you're leading

Seems hollow then maybe

What you're needing

Is someone to turn your world around?



Take my hand

Come take my hand

And walk with me and walk awhile

Let me teach you how to smile



Let me teach you how to smile

And I'll show you skies

And I'll show you skies where gentle breezes blow

Where breezes, gentle breezes blow, yeah, hey



And I'll take you where peaceful waters flow

Peaceful waters flow



If you let me, I'll take you

Where peaceful waters flow

Come and walk with me, mmm, hmm

We can go where peaceful waters flow



Now if the sunshine hurts your eyes, boy

Then it's time for you to realize, boy

Beyond this moment there's a better day

Better day, mmm, hmm, better day



And if you let me

I'll guide you, mmm

I'll always be there, right there beside you

Reaching every step of your way



Come take my hand and walk

Come take my hand and walk with me awhile

And walk awhile, yeah, hey, hey

Let me teach you how to smile



Let me teach you how to smile

And I'll show you skies, I'll show you skies

Where gentle breezes blow

Where breezes, gentle breezes blow, hey, yeah, hey, hey, hey



And I'll take you where peaceful waters flow

Peaceful waters flow



Hey, hey, if you trust me

I'll take you there where peaceful waters flow

Come and walk with me, mmm, hmm

We can go where peaceful waters flow
