Letras
Canyon wide and canyon deep
Shallow water edges steep
I walked across the Rio Grande
Though that was not quite what I'd planned
Oh
Oh, I fell like rain for you
Flying high like lovers do
Could have had just what we'd planned
Side by side, hand in hand
Now on this bridge I stand
And it's a long way down
To reach the cold hard ground
The unforgiving bed
Where our love comes to rest
Oh, high upon the Rio Gorge
High upon the Rio Gorge
Left me high and left me dry
Now this river I could cry
You were meant to be my love
Sent from someone up above
And, oh, the words that I would say
If I had just one more day
But now the sun is sinking down
Like words of oh so many vows
There's nothing left here now
And it's a long way down
To reach the cold hard ground
The unforgiving bed
Where our love comes to rest
Oh, high upon the Rio Gorge
High upon the Rio Gorge
Reach inside and dig down deep
Grab the rail, plant my feet
Brace myself for one last toss
Throw your ring, watch it drop
And it's a long way down
To reach the cold hard ground
The unforgiving bed
Where our love comes to rest
Oh, high upon the Rio Gorge
High upon the Rio Gorge
Canyon wide and canyon deep
Shallow water, edges steep
