Time And The River Lyrics - Nat King Cole

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. 

(Instrumental interlude and pick up at *.) 

How long I've been lonely; 

Star of love, shine bright. 

I need her; oh, lead her 

To my arms tonight.
