"The Turning" was the last album Sam Phillips recorded as Leslie Phillips, in 1987. "River of Love" is the first track from the album.
Lyrics:
There's a river of love that runs through all times
There's a river of grief that floods through our loves
It starts when a heart is broken into
By the thief of belief in anything that's true
But there's a river of love that runs through all time
There's a river of love that runs through all time
There's a river of tears that flows through our eyes
We fight through the night for freedom as it fades
Into a jail where we fail everytime we make a break
But there's a river of love that runs through all time
I had to run before I knew how to crawl
The first step was hard but I have had trouble with them all
But now the night grows darker and the day grows dim
'Cause I know I never will see you again
And I almost made you happy
There's a river of love that runs through all time
There's a river of fire that burns with no light
The flame is the pain of dreams gone up in smoke
From the lies we deny and breathe until we choke
There's a river of love that runs through all time
Lyrics:
There's a river of love that runs through all times
There's a river of grief that floods through our loves
It starts when a heart is broken into
By the thief of belief in anything that's true
But there's a river of love that runs through all time
There's a river of love that runs through all time
There's a river of tears that flows through our eyes
We fight through the night for freedom as it fades
Into a jail where we fail everytime we make a break
But there's a river of love that runs through all time
I had to run before I knew how to crawl
The first step was hard but I have had trouble with them all
But now the night grows darker and the day grows dim
'Cause I know I never will see you again
And I almost made you happy
There's a river of love that runs through all time
There's a river of fire that burns with no light
The flame is the pain of dreams gone up in smoke
From the lies we deny and breathe until we choke
There's a river of love that runs through all time

Thank you, my friend Capt Dwayne Edwards for posting Leslie Phillips under the nom de plum Sam Phillips performing "River of Love" from the 1987 album "The Turning"
"This song is credited to both Sam Phillips and T Bone Burnett (the two had a successful business partnership and a marriage that lasted from 1989-2004). It was written for T Bone's own self-titled album, but Sam fell in love with the romantic ballad when she heard it being recorded at the studio. In our interview with Phillips, she recalled: "I just thought that was an amazing song, and I wanted a lot of people to cover it, so I felt the least I could do was put it on my record that we were making at the time. That was when we first started to work together. He played guitar on that version that I did and I sang it."
The Turning, produced by T Bone Burnett, would be the final album by Christian music artist Leslie Phillips before she reinvented herself as Sam Phillips for mainstream audiences. She told Magnet Magazine: "T Bone and I just did an honest record and it caused quite a stir. And after that I left."
