Too Many Rivers

Brenda Lee

(Harlan Howarrd)



Peaked at #13 on July 31, 1965



I wish I could come back to you dear

Cause I know that you want me too

But too much waters 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 peeled the fruit on the vine

And when you try to put love back together

There's always a few little pieces that you can't find



Yes there's TOO MANY RIVERS to cross dear

And there's too many dreams that have been lost

And there's too many long nights that I've turned and tossed

There's TOO MANY RIVERS to cross
