Too Many Rivers

(album: I Don't Know A Thing About Love: The Songs of Harlan Howard - 2023)

I wish I could come back to you, dear
'Cause I know that you want me to
But too much water has run under that old bridge
There's too many rivers between me and you

There's too many rivers to cross, dear
And 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 that you can't find

Yeah, there's too many rivers to cross, dear
And there's too many dreams have been lost
There's too many long nights
That I have turned and I have tossed
There's too many rivers to cross

There's too many rivers to cross
