In a world full of flashy hooks and forgettable lyrics, Don Williams gave us music that lasted — songs that whispered instead of shouted, and still found a way to hit you right in the heart.
And in 1976, with the release of “Till the Rivers All Run Dry,” he gave us one of the most timeless love songs ever recorded.
🎶 The Song That Says Everything Without Saying Too Much
“Till the rivers all run dry
Till the sun falls from the sky
Till life on earth is through
I’ll be needing you…”
It’s not just a promise — it’s a vow. A soft but powerful declaration of love that transcends time, space, and even death. In just a few verses, Williams captures the kind of devotion we all hope to find: the kind that lasts not just for a lifetime, but forever.
