Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
(Harlan Howard)

I wish I could come back to you dear
Cause I know that you want me to
But too much water has run under that old bridge
There's too many rivers between me and you.

There's too many rivers to cross dear
Too many dreams have been lost
And there's too many long nights that I've turned and tossed
There's too many rivers to cross.

--- Instrumental ---

Now don't think for a moment that I blame only you
We both killed the fruit on the vine
And when you try to put love back together
There's always a few little pieces that you can't find.

Well, there's too many rivers to cross dear
Too many dreams have been lost
And there's too many long nights that I've turned and tossed
There's too many rivers to cross...
