The River's Too Wide Lyrics

The river′s too wide now for crossing
The water's rush too loud for talking
We never build bridges for walking
′Cause the river's too wide

The gentle stream
Once flowed between us
But love could cross it easily
'Til stormy skies
Brought bitter teardrops

And made that stream a raging river
Come between you and me

The river′s too wide now for crossing
The water′s rush too loud for talking
We never build bridges for walking
There's no getting to the other side

The river′s too wide now for crossing
The hurting goes too deep for mending
It looks like an unhappy ending
'Cause the river′s too wide

But lessons learned are not forgotten
We gave our blood to save our pride
Next time I'm faced with rising waters
I′ll build a bridge of love and kindness
Reaching to the other side

The river's too wide now for crossing
The water's rush too loud for talking
We never build bridges for walking
There′s no getting to the other side

The river′s too wide now for crossing
The hurting goes too deep for mending
It looks like an unhappy ending
'Cause the river′s too wide

The river's too wide now for crossing
The water′s rush too loud for talking
We never build bridges for walking
There's no getting to the other side

The river′s too wide now for crossing
The hurting goes too deep for mending
It looks like an unhappy ending
'Cause the river's too wide

The river′s too wide now for crossing
The water′s rush too loud for talking
We never build bridges for walking
There's no getting to the other side

The river′s too wide now for crossing
The hurting goes too deep for mending
It looks like an unhappy ending
'Cause the river′s too wide

The river's too wide now for crossing
The water′s rush too loud for talking
