Lyrics The Grass Roots

The Grass Roots

The River Is Wide

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
