(Harlan Howard)

I wish I could come back to you
Dear, 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 just too many rivers to cross
Babe, too many dreams have been lost
And there's too many long nights I've turned and tossed
There's too many rivers to cross.

Now don't think for a moment I blame only you
Qe 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 just too many rivers to cross
Babe, too many dreams have been lost
And there's too many long nights I've turned and tossed
There's too many rivers to cross...
