That Was a River, released on July 27, 1993, is a poignant country ballad by American singer Collin Raye, featured on his second studio album, *In This Life*. Written by Susan Longacre and Rick Giles, the song employs the metaphor of a river to depict the flow and eventual end of a past relationship, contrasting it with the enduring nature of true love. Produced by Garth Fundis and John Hobbs, the track achieved significant success, peaking at number 4 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart and number 15 on the Canadian RPM Country Tracks chart. The accompanying music video, directed by Sherman Halsey, visually complements the song’s themes of reflection and emotional transition.
