Hold Back The River lyrics

Tried to keep you close to me

but life got inbetween

tried to square

not bein' 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

But now we call

against the tide

those distant days

are flashin' 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-ho, oh-ho... oh-ho

oh-ho... oh-ho

oh-woah-oh-woah-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, hold

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

So happy to have discovered Lucky Voice. We'd never tried karaoke before, but this is so much fun! So many great songs and so easy to use. Love it!

Easy to set up, entertains the little ones by day and the adults by night.
