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
  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
  
  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
