i wish i could come back to you dear cause i know that you want me to but too much water 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 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 and there s too many dreams that have been lost oh there s too many long nights that i ve turned and i ve tossed there s too many rivers to cross
