That Was a River

(Susan Longacre/Rick Giles; as sung by Collin Raye)

(G) C D C G

I've seen that look before; here comes that doubt again

You think that girl we saw was more than just a friend

Yes there was a time I thought she had it all

She meant the world to me, back when the world was small

That was a river, this is the ocean

That never carried this much emotion

Nothing compares to this deep devotion

That was a river, this is the ocean

Key change (up a whole step)

The love we've had before can never change this one

We're not imprisoned by the past we've brought along

It's just you and me, just one ship in the night

There are no boundaries, there is no end in sight

That was a river, this is the ocean

That never carried this much emotion

Nothing compares to this deep devotion

That was a river, this is the ocean

Nothing compares to this deep devotion

That was a river, this is the ocean

That was a river, this is the ocean.
