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

Bb
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Bb
Hold back the river so I
F
Can stop for a minute and see where you hide
F
Hold back the river, hold back

Once upon a different, life
We rode our bikes into the sky
But now we crawl against the tide
Those distant days are flashing by


[Chorus]

Bb
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Bb
Hold back the river so I
    F
Can stop for a minute and be by your side
F                    C
Hold back the river, hold back
Bb
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Bb
Hold back the river so I
    F
Can stop for a minute and see where you hide
F                    C
Hold back the river, hold back
