[Words by Hy Zaret and Music by Alex North]

Whoooa, my love, my darlin'
I've hungered for your touch
A long, lonely time
And 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 me

Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea, yeah
Lonely rivers sigh
Wait for me, wait for me
I'll be comin' home, wait for me

Whoooa, my love, my darlin'
I've hungered, hungered for your touch
A long, lonely time
And 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
