Lyrics: Unchained Melody
Oh, my love
My darling
I’ve hungered for your touch
A long, lonely timeAnd time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to meLonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Yes, lonely rivers sigh, “Wait for me, wait for me
I’ll be coming home, wait for me”Oh, my love
My darling
I’ve hungered, hungered for your touch
A long, lonely timeAnd time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?I need your love
I, I need your love
God speed your love to me
