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)
|
