TIME AND THE RIVER
(Wally Gold / Aaron Schroeder)

Nat King Cole - 1960
Gene Pitney - 1963
John Holt - 1970


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 shining 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
