If there’s a special artist in the country music scheme that embodies a distinct voice, music, and great songs, then that’s definitely, no other than the “Gentle Giant” Don Williams. These temperaments can be realized through his singles. A great example is “Till The Rivers All Run Dry” which placed No.1 on the country charts.

In the entire course of Don Williams’ musical career, he placed a total of 17 No.1 songs on the country charts. All of those songs was an outcome of his excellent choice of music. Also, for those songs to be satisfactory, skepticism and abundant time have been reinforced. Indeed, the “Gentle Giant” precisely knew what to do for his country music supporters to be satisfied.

Sadly, we are no longer with him. We no longer see or hear him recording and performing. He’s up above strumming his guitar and singing his songs. Despite Don Williams’ physical absence, we can still feel his existence through his songs. With this, let’s hark back to his memoirs by listening to his 4th No.1 song on the country charts. It’s called “Till The Rivers All Run Dry.”

Till The Rivers All Run Dry…

Don Williams along with Wayland Holyfield was the songwriters behind “Till The Rivers All Run Dry.” It was released in December 1975 as the first single from his album “Harmony.” It became No.1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart on March 27, 1976. It spent a total span of twelve weeks on the country charts.

The song is about eternal love, and it is described through the lyrics. There might be ups and downs, fights and misunderstandings but most of all, you overcome the obstacles. Together, you’ll have a stronger relationship. And even at the very last of your breath, you’ll need each other. Indeed, a true and infinite love.

The Lyrics…

Till the rivers, all run dry

The sun falls from the sky

Till life on earth is through

I’ll be needing you

I know sometimes you may wonder

From little things I say and do

But there’s no need for you to wonder

If I need you cause I’ll need you

Till the rivers, all run dry

The sun falls from the sky

Till life on earth is through

I’ll be needing you

Too many times I don’t tell you

Many things get in the way

And even though sometimes I hurt you

Still, you show me in every way

Till the rivers, all run dry

The sun falls from the sky

Till life on earth is through

I’ll be needing you
