THE RIVER IS WIDE

Grassroots and The Forum

(Grassroots charted higher, but *I* think the Forum was better :-)

That is the version I transcribed)



Dance with me baby baby

Dance with me baby baby

Cause the river sees (??)

That the river gets wide

The river gets long now

The water runs deep

As our love gets strong now

Oh baby don't fight

Cause girl all tonight

You belong to me...

Upon the roof we heard the gentle rain

With the rhythm of our heartbeats down it came

As each drop will wash away the pain

No one on Earth can stop one drop of rain

And the river gets wide

The river gets long now

The feeling gets deep

As our love gets strong now

So baby don't fight

Cause girl all tonight

You belong to me

It's too late to turn the tide baby

It's too late to hide away baby

It's too late for both denying to be-ee-ee (??)

The river gets wide

The river gets long now

the water gets deep

As our love gets strong now (fading out)
