The River Is Wide

The sky was clear on that windy day
'Til the clear blue sky began to turn to gray
The lightning flashed, the thunder roared above
Then fell a drop of rain to start our love

Let the river get wide, the river gets long, now
The water runs deep as our love gets strong now
So baby don't you fight and say you belong now to me...

Upon the roof we heard the gentle rain
Wth the rhythm of our heartbeats down it came
As it hit each rock our hearts could feel the pain
No one on earth can stop a drop of rain

And the river get wide, the river gets long, now
The water runs deep as our love gets strong now
So baby don't you fight and say you belong now to me...

Let the river get wide, the river gets long, now
The water runs deep as our love gets strong now
So baby don't you fight and say you belong now to me, yea

Let the river get wide, the river gets long, now
The water runs deep as our love gets strong now
So baby don't you fight and say you belong now to me

Let the river get wide, the river gets long, now
