Time And The River

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

Mississippi River In Autumn

Itasca State Park

Minnesota

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.

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

Till time stands still and the river runs dry.

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

Till time stands still and the river runs dry.
