I wish I could come back to you dear cause I know that you want me to But too much waters run under that old bridge There's too many rivers between me and you There's too many rivers to cross dear and too many dreams have been lost And there's too many long nights that I've turned and tossed There's just too many rivers to cross Now don't think for moments 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 you can't find There's too many rivers
