River's Too Wide

The river's too wide now for crossing The waters 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 waters 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 The river's too wide now for crossing The waters 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
