Many Rivers to Cross Lyrics

Many many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way over
Wandering I am lost
As I travel along the white cliffs of Dover

Many rivers to cross
And it's only my will that keeps me alive
I've been licked, washed up for years
And I merely survive because of my pride

And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be on your own
Lovers left me and I don't know the reason why
Well, I guess I'll have to cry

Many rivers to cross
But just where to begin, I'm playing for time
There been times when I find myself
Thinking of committing some dreadful crime

Won't you tell me now?
Many rivers, many rivers
Many rivers, many rivers, oh many rivers
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, ooh, many rivers

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
