The River’s Too Wide Songtext
von Olivia Newton‐John

The river′s too wide now for crossin'
The waters rush too loud for talkin′
We never built bridges for walkin'
'Cause the river′s too wide

A gentle stream once flowed between us
But love could cross it easily
′Til stormy skies brought bitter teardrops
And made that stream a ragin' river
Come between you and me

The river′s too wide now for crossin'
The waters rush too loud for talkin′
We never built bridges for walkin'
There′s no gettin' to the other side
The river's too wide now for crossin′
The cuttin′ was too deep for mendin'
It looks like an unhappy endin′
'Cause the river′s too wide


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

The river′s too wide now for crossin′
The waters rush too loud for talkin'
We never built bridges for walkin′
There's no gettin′ to the other side

The river's too wide now for crossin′
The cuttin' was too deep for mendin'
It looks like an unhappy endin′
′Cause the river's too wide

The river′s too wide now for crossin'
The waters rush too loud for talkin′
We never built bridges for walkin'
There′s no gettin' to the other side

The river's too wide now for crossin′
The cuttin′ was too deep for mendin'
It looks like an unhappy endin′
'Cause the river′s too wide


The river's too wide now for crossin′
The waters rush too loud for talkin'
We never built bridges for walkin'
There′s no gettin′ to the other side

The river's too wide now for crossin′
The cuttin' was too deep for mendin′
It looks like an unhappy endin'
′Cause the river's too wide
The river's too wide now for crossin′
The waters rush too loud for talkin′
We never built bridges for walkin'
