Too Many Rivers

Brenda Lee · The Definitive Collection [Mca Nashville] [2006]

(Harlan Howard)



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

Too many dreams have been lost

And there's too many long 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 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.



Yes 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 I've tossed

There's too many rivers to cross...
