The River’s Too Wide by Olivia Newton-John Lyrics

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...
