That Was a River (Susan Longacre/Rick Giles; as sung by Collin Raye) () 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.
