The water is wide I can't cross over
And neither have I got 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 the only love never waxing cold
Is the love He offers to me and you [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/c/cliff_richard/the_water_is_wide.html ]
Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row my love and I
There's a ship and she sails the sea
She's loaded deep as deep can be
And even deeper than the love I'm in
If I step on board then our love begins
Got to step on board let our love begin
(Water is wide and I've got to cross over)
