The River Is Wide

The Grass Roots

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 gets wide, the river gets long, now
