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

(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...
