Bay, James - Hold Back The River Lyrics
Tried to keep you close to me
But life got in between
Tried to square not being there
But it's there that I should've been
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're caught against the tide
Those distant days all flashing by
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
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, oho, oho, oho, oho
Oho, oho, oho, oho
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
[Alternative line:] Hold back the river
[Acoustic version's line:] Hold back
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?

I have listened this song with a girl , for which i thought it is the one . She introduced me with this song .. We would lay down , listen this song and just look at each other ... She left with another man , but whenever i listen this song , it brings me back the memories , and when i close my eyes , i still can see her laying down next to me , and looking at me with beautiful blue eyes ... 😑 I tried to keep HER close to me , but life got in between !!
one of the best song for a new decade 2020 <3
2020 anyone 😍😍😍😍
Pes 2017 ❤
