| Lyrics:Morrison Music:Morrison | |
| The river's too wide now for crossing | |
| The waters rush too loud for talking | |
| We never build bridges for walking | |
| 'Cause the river's too wide | |
| A gentle stream once flowed between us | |
| But love could cross it easily | |
| Till stormy skies brought bitter teardrops | |
| And made that stream a raging river | |
| Come between you and me | |
| The river's too wide now for crossing | |
| The waters rush too loud for talking | |
| We never build bridges for walking | |
| There's no getting to the other side | |
| The river's too wide now for crossing | |
| The current goes too deep for mending | |
| It looks like an unhappy ending | |
| 'Cause the river's too wide | |
| Good lessons learned are not forgotten | |
| We gave up love to save our pride | |
| Next time I'm faced with rising waters | |
| I'll build a bridge of love and kindness | |
| Reaching to the other side | |
| The river's too wide now for crossing | |
| The waters rush too loud for talking | |
| We never build bridges for walking | |
| There's no getting to the other side | |
| The river's too wide now for crossing | |
| The current goes too deep for mending | |
| It looks like an unhappy ending | |
| 'Cause the river's too wide |
| Lyrics: Morrison Music: Morrison | |
| The river' s too wide now for crossing | |
| The waters rush too loud for talking | |
| We never build bridges for walking | |

| The waters rush too loud for talking | |
| We never build bridges for walking | |
| There' s no getting to the other side | |
| The river' s too wide now for crossing | |
| The current goes too deep for mending | |
| It looks like an unhappy ending | |
| ' Cause the river' s too wide | |
| Good lessons learned are not forgotten | |
| We gave up love to save our pride | |
| Next time I' m faced with rising waters | |
| I' ll build a bridge of love and kindness | |
| Reaching to the other side | |
| The river' s too wide now for crossing | |
| The waters rush too loud for talking | |
| We never build bridges for walking | |
| There' s no getting to the other side | |
| The river' s too wide now for crossing | |
| The current goes too deep for mending | |
| It looks like an unhappy ending | |
