[Verse 1]
Time and the river
Will bring my love to me
If I must, I'll wait forever
By the river that took her to the sea

[Verse 2]
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 tide

[Bridge]
How long I've been lonely
Star of love, shine bright
I need her, oh, lead her
To my arms tonight

[Verse 3]
Time and the river
How swiftly they go by
But my heart will beat for no other
Till time stands still and the river runs dry

[Outro]
Time and the river
How swiftly they go by
But my heart will beat for no other
Till time stands still and the river runs dry
