I wish I could come back to you, Dear,
'Cause I know that you want me to;
But too much water's 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 nights
That I've turned and I've tossed
There's too many rivers to cross.
Now don't think for a moment I blame only you;
We both peeled the fruit on the vine.
And when you try to put love back together,
There's always a few little pieces you can't find.
There's too many rivers to cross, Dear;
Too many dreams have been lost,
And there's too many nights
That I've turned and I've tossed
There's too many rivers to cross.
