Nat King Cole Lyrics for Song: Time And The River
 Lyrics for Album: Songs From St. Louis Blues/looking Back [2007]
 
 
 
 5355>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.
 
 
 
 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.
 
 5355>
