Newton-john Olivia - The River's Too Wide Lyrics

(Bob Morrison) The river's too wide now for crossing The water's rush too loud for talking We never build bridges for walking The river's too wide for crossing The 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 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 raging 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...
