Hold Back The River piano leadsheet with chords
Tried to keep you close to me,
but life got in between.
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 diff'rent life we rode our bikes into the sky.
But now we crawl 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.
Oh, oh, oh,
oh, oh, oh, oh,
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
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 be by your side.
Hold back the river, oh.
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.
