The River Is Wide - Grass Roots

The sky was clear on that windy day

Till the clear blue sky began to turn to gray

The lightening 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 gets 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…
