The River Is Wide Lyrics By The Grass Roots

    the sky was clear on that windy day
    ’til the clear blue sky began to turn to grey
    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
    with the rhythm of our heartbeats down it came
    as it hit each drop 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 yeah

    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
