Hold Back the River

Ohs (unison)

Ohs (harmonies)

‍

(Sops)

Tried to keep you close to me

But life got in between

(Tenors)

Tried to square not being there

But think that I should have been

‍

Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes

Hold back the river, so I

Can stop for a minute and see where you hide

Hold back the river, hold back

‍

Once upon a different life

We rode our bikes into the sky

Now we call against the tide

Those distant days are flashing by

‍

Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes

Hold back the river, so I

Can stop for a minute and be by your side

Hold back the river, hold back

Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes

Hold back the river, so I

Can stop for a minute and see where you hide

Hold back the river, hold back

‍

Ohs (unison)

Ohs (harmonies)

‍

Lonely water, lonely water,

won't you let us wander, Let us hold each other

Lonely water, lonely water,

won't you let us wander, Let us hold each other

‍

Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes

Hold back the river, so I

Can stop for a minute and be by your side

Hold back the river, hold back

Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes

Hold back the river, so I

Can stop for a minute and see where you hide

Hold back the river, hold back

‍
