When it comes to love, we've both had some hard times
There's no way of knowing when love will be the right kind
We can't hang around the edge of love and play it safe
When you know what's right or wrong it's too late to escape
For love is like a river in the stillness of the dawn
No ripple there to warn you of the danger that's beyond
You might plunge into a heartache or a life of ecstasy
But you can't put one foot in the water to know how deep the river's gonna be
Well it can scare a heart to death to fall in love so deep
And all that we can do for now is pray that it's for keeps
I think that our chance for pulling out is mighty slim
We'll soon be in above our heads, it's either sink or swim
For love is like a river in the stillness of the dawn
No ripple there to warn you of the danger that's beyond
You might plunge into a heartache or a life of ecstasy
But you can't put one foot in the water to know how deep the river's gonna be
For love is like a river in the stillness of the dawn
No ripple there to warn you of the danger that's beyond
You might plunge into a heartache or a life of ecstasy
But you can't put one foot in the water to know how deep the river's gonna be
But you can't put one foot in the water, oh no
To know how deep the rivers going to be"
