[1st verse]
By my Gdyin’ fire tonight, I see your Cface within the light
It smiles and Dfades, like fleeting shadows on the Gground
And the Griver runnin’ near, brings back a Csong I used to hear
When we were Done, and danced the streets of Spanish GTown
[Chorus]
Rio GGrande, agua canCtando, en la Dnoche, yo oigo tu Gcanción
Mi Gguitarra, canta conCtigo, una canDción de, mi coraGzón
[2nd verse]
So, I’ll Ghold you once again, it’s just a Cdream I know but then
Better in Ddream, then never holdin’ you to meG  
And in the Gfire’s dyin’ glow, I feel your Cwarmth, and I remember oh
So Dwell the way our lovin’ used to Gbe
[Chorus]
Rio GGrande, agua canCtando, en la Dnoche, yo oigo tu Gcanción
Mi Gguitarra, canta conCtigo, una canDción de, mi coraGzón

[3rd verse]
GOcotillo’s flaming flower, it grew as rCed as my heart’s blood the hour
You Dleft me for the ways of San AntoneG  
And now Gbeside the waters flow, my fire Cdies, the memories go
And once aDgain, the dream is gone, and I’m aGlone
[Chorus]
Rio GGrande, agua canCtando, en la Dnoche, yo oigo tu Gcanción
Mi Gguitarra, canta conCtigo, una canDción de, mi coraGzón
[Chorus]
Rio GGrande, agua canCtando, en la Dnoche, yo oigo tu Gcanción
Mi Gguitarra, canta conCtigo, una canDción de, mi coraGzón
Una canDción de, mi coraGzón
