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

C D C G

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

G Em C

Yes there was a time I thought she had it all

D C G

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

C D C G

That was a river, this is the ocean

C D C G

That never carried this much emotion

C G

Nothing compares to this deep devotion

C D C G

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

D E D A

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

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

E D A

There are no boundaries, there is no end in sight

D E D A

That was a river, this is the ocean

D E D A

That never carried this much emotion

D A

Nothing compares to this deep devotion

D E D A

That was a river, this is the ocean

D A

Nothing compares to this deep devotion

D E D A

That was a river, this is the ocean

D E D A

That was a river, this is the ocean.
