When the River Meets the Sea
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
When the River Meets the Sea is a song written by composer and lyricist Paul Williams for Jim Henson's 1977 HBO special Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas. The song was later sung by John Denver and Robin the frog in the 1979 television special John Denver and the Muppets: A Christmas Together.
Though written for one Christmas story and featured in another, the lyrics are not holiday-related, but symbolic of death as a peaceful transition to an afterlife.
