The River's Too Wide - Sammy Davis, Jr., Sammy Davis Jr. Featuring Sam Butera & The Witnesses

Paroles de la chanson The River’s Too Wide:

The river’s too wide now for crossing

The water rushed too loud for talking

We never built bridges for walking

And now 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 rushed too loud for talking

We never built 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 live 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 loving kindness

Reaching to the other side

The river’s too wide now for crossing

The water rushed too loud for talking

We never built 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 live an unhappy ending

Cause the river’s too wide
