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 Refrain: 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. Refrain: 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.
