Lyrics The River’s Too Wide - Sammy Davis, Jr.

The River’s Too Wide

Paroles de la chanson The River’s Too Wide:
The river’s too wide now for crossing
The water rushed too loud for talking
We never built bridges for walking
And now the river’s too wide
A gentle stream once flowed between us
But love could cross it easily
Till 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 rushed too loud for talking
We never built 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 live an unhappy ending
Cause the river’s too wide
Good lessons learned are not forgotten
We gave up love to save our pride
Next time I’m faced with rising waters
I’ll build a bridge of loving kindness
Reaching to the other side
The river’s too wide now for crossing
The water rushed too loud for talking
We never built 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 live an unhappy ending
Cause the river’s too wide
