[Verse 1]
Wish I could come back to you dear
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
[Chorus]
There's too many rivers to cross dear
Too many dreams have been lost
And there's too many long nights I've turned and I've tossed
There's too many rivers to cross
[Verse 2]
Don't think for a moment I blame only you
We both killed the fruit on the vine
When you try to put love back together
There's always a few little pieces you can't find
[Chorus]
There's too many rivers to cross dear
Too many dreams have been lost
And there's too many long nights I've turned and I've tossed
There's too many rivers to cross
Too Many Rivers was written by Harlan Howard.
