Time and the river will bring my love to me.
     Gb                 Db           B
If I must, I'll wait forever, by the river 
                     Db
that took her to the sea.

Db          Ab       Gb                    Fm
Here by the river we loved, we laughed, we cried.
         Gb                Db              B
But with time, my love, my darling left my arms 
        Ab            Db
and was gone with the tide.

    Bbm            Fm              Gb           Db
How long I've been lonely, star of love shining bright?
  Bbm           Gb              Eb     Ab
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 
              Ab         Db....A
still and the river runs dry.
