Karla Bonoff - The water is wide

  

 

 

The water is wide, I can't cross over  

 And neither have I wings to fly 

Give me a boat that can carry two 

 And both shall row, my love and I     

Oh, love is gentle and love is kind     

The sweetest flower when first it's new  

 But love grows old and waxes cold  

 And fades away like morning dew      

There is a ship and she sails to sea    

She's loaded deep as deep can be 

 But not as deep as the love I'm in  

I know not how I sink or swim     

The water is wide, I can't cross over  

And neither have I wings to fly  

 Give me a boat that can carry two  

And both shall row, my love and I
