The River's Too Wide Lyrics

 

The River's Too Wide - Sammy Davis Jr./Noel Boggs

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

 

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'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 current goes too deep for mending

It looks like 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 love and kindness reaching to the other side

 

And 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 current goes too deep for mending

It looks like an unhappy ending

 

'Cause the river's too wide
