Lyrics
Verse 1Tried to keep you close to me, but life got in between
Tried to square not being there, but think that I should have been
Chorus 1
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
Verse 2
Once upon a different life,we rode our bikes into the sky
But now we're caught against the tide, those distant days are flashing by
Chorus 2
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 see where you hide
Hold back the river, hold back
Verse3
Woah woah woah woah woah woah woah (2x)
Interlude 1
(2x) Lonely water, lonely water won't you, let us wander
Let us hold each other
Chorus 3
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 back
Interlude 2 = Interlude 1
Coda
Tried to keep you close to me but life got in between
Hold back the river

What other choirs say about ChorusOnline
100% legal sheet music
ChorusOnline has been working honestly and professionally from the start (2008).
Honest because we work with the permission of the copyrights holders. We are assisted by BINGH lawyers in Amsterdam, specialized in copyright.
Professional because we only work with highly trained arrangers who have years of experience. In addition, each arrangement is checked by both the ChorusOnline team and the copyrights holder. So we can guarantee the highest possible quality.
Copyright Act and linking to copyrights holders
Arranging and selling (making public) of arrangements is prohibited without the permission of the copyrights holders. This is described in article 1 of the Copyright Act
You can download the English version of the Copy Right Act here.
Our high-tech payment system is linked to the copyrights holders. At the moment of payment, the copyrights holder (the artist) receives his/her royalties within a few seconds and you, our customer, a legal package (PDF + MP3). Our packages have been put together with the greatest care and are approved by the copyrights holder.
Costs and your choice.
This all means that, due to royalties, we are probably a bit more expensive than other providers/arrangers. If an arrangement is offered cheaper by someone else, you can be almost certain that it is an illegal arrangement that is duping our team of professionals.
More and more choirs worldwide appreciate our approach and therefore choose legal sheet music via ChorusOnline. We rely on the same approach during the ordering process: honestly indicate the amount of choir members, you will sing with a better feeling. In this way, our team can continue to enlarge our beautiful legal choir catalogue.
Kind Regards
