Unchained Melody
Rick Nelson · Lonesome Town Complete Record Releases 1957-59 [1992]
Oh, my love my, darling, I've hungered for your touch
Alone, lonely time
Time goes by so slowly and time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love, I need your love
God speeds your love to me.
My darling, I've hungered for your touch
Alone, lonely time
Time goes by so slowly and time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love, I need your love
God speeds your love to me...
