Time and the river will bring my love to me If I must, Ill wait forever By the river that took her to the sea Here by the river, we loved, we laughed, we cried But with time, my love, my darling Left my arms and was gone with the tides How long I've been lonely Star of love, shine bright I need her, oh, lead her to my arms tonight Time and the river how swiftly they go by But my heart will beat for no other Til time stands still and the river runs dry
